What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EN9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

About our wood floor repair in Waltham Abbey

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Whether it’s dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, we can typically put it right, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood alike.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Waltham Abbey

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Waltham Abbey. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Comparing quotes

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Waltham Abbey use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.

Questions from Waltham Abbey

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we are working on.

Do you cover Waltham Abbey?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Waltham Abbey for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Waltham Abbey?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EN9 postcode.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
