How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently 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 carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Throop questions
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
