Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Shingay. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Shingay, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Advice
Your questions about wood floor repair in Shingay
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Are there extra charges for Shingay?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How much does wood floor repair cost in Shingay?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
