Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Repair or replace in Playford?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Playford
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire floor
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
- Laminate flooring
