Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Wood floor repair in Shield Row without replacing anything
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for burns and dents from dropped items, in laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace in Shield Row?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Advice
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole floor
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
