DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire floor
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can price the job.
Stanmer questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you cover Stanmer?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Stanmer for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
