What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The material
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole floor
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Shortwood, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

FAQs for Shortwood
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
