Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Upper College. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Common questions in Upper College
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
