How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
How we handle wood floor repair in Thorpe Arnold
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We are often asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and burns, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Common questions in Thorpe Arnold
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Advice
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
