Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Town use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. 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.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When to call us in Old Town
Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Burns
- Chipped board edges
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- If travel is included in the price
