How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Thwaite St Mary questions
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you come to Thwaite St Mary?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Thwaite St Mary for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How much does wood floor repair cost in Thwaite St Mary?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Other services in Thwaite St Mary
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
