DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Wood floor repair in Newton Ketton, done in place
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. If you are dealing with chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances, we can generally put it right, on engineered wood, laminate flooring and solid wood alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire floor
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
