What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Skinner's Hill. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
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 reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
