What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Old Hutton. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Old Hutton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Related advice

Old Hutton: your questions answered

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What we’re called out for in Old Hutton

Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Burns
  • Dents from dropped items

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Old Hutton clients choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Hutton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Old Hutton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

When a repair is not the answer

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
