How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Rudby. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
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 quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire floor
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Rudby questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we’re working on.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Rudby.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
