How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire floor
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Polwarth: your questions answered
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Edinburgh. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
