DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Parkgate. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Parkgate. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
