What affects the price in St John's Wood

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor

Most clients in St John's Wood get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Wood floor repair in St John's Wood without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Our technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring, and people most frequently call us about gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place
