How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
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.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your WN4 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Landlord and trade work in Simm's Lane End
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
