What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Engineered wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate flooring

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
