What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Landlord and trade work in Shotley Common
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Common questions in Shotley Common
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work in Shotley Common?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Shotley Common from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
What areas do you cover?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
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. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Shotley Common
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
