How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole floor

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Wood floor repair in Newlands, done in place

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We work on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and burns.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our full price list.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
