How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Wood floor repair in Sydenham, done in place
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s scratches from furniture and pets and burns, we can help, on solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Landlord and trade work in Sydenham
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sydenham as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repairing versus replacing in Sydenham
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently 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, a professional repair is worth it.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
Get a quote
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
