Related advice
What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shotgate. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
