What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the damaged area.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
