Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
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.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to 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. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One visit for most repairs
- One price list for the entire UK
