What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Whickham. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire floor
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the damaged area.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
