Typical jobs include gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
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.
Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What areas do you cover?
All of the Orkney Islands, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Does the room need clearing?

What does wood floor repair cost?
