How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rushmere
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
