How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Questions from Shipbourne
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What areas do you cover?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shipbourne
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
