How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in South Carlton

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. For a rural home like those around South Carlton, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our Prices page.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured. Somewhere as small as South Carlton, access is generally the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
