How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in St John's Chapel and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Questions from St John's Chapel

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
