How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Common questions in North Carlton
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes North Carlton. Our prices are the same everywhere.
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.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
