What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Preston, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Engineered wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Solid wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

Preston: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Are there extra charges for Preston?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Riding of Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
