What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Shorthampton questions

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Shorthampton is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do you cover Shorthampton?

We do. Technicians travel to Shorthampton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage
