How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you are in Newlands and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repair or replace in Newlands?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available

When a repair is not the answer

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Engineered wood

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newlands use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
