Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Sterte
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
