What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

FAQs for New Charlton
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Are there extra charges for New Charlton?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
