What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Common problems we fix in Sutton in the Elms
Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Sutton in the Elms
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

Why repair rather than replace?

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
