How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
About our wood floor repair in Whitecross
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our technicians work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are burns and gouges from moving appliances.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Whitecross
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
