Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Waterslack. What changes the price is:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole floor
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
FAQs for Waterslack
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we are working on.
