What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Newington Butts. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Wood floor repair at your home in Newington Butts
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are burns and chipped board edges.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Newington Butts and across Greater London. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Related advice
Newington Butts: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repairing versus replacing in Newington Butts
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
