DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 usually cheaper.

Repairing versus replacing in Rutherglen
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Rutherglen. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Rutherglen, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
