- Repairs from £95
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Scratches from furniture and pets
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire floor
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
About our wood floor repair in Racks
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Typical jobs include dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common questions in Racks
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Racks. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
