Questions from Pitsea
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your SS13 postcode.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you cover Pitsea?
We do. We send a technician to Pitsea for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we’re working on.
Other services in Pitsea
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
