Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Your questions about wood floor repair in Waterdale
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
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 areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Waterdale and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Repairing versus replacing in Waterdale
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
