Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you’re in Tarraby and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Common questions in Tarraby
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you work in Tarraby?
We do. We send a technician to Tarraby for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
