What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Witton-le-Wear. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire floor
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Witton-le-Wear questions
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work in Witton-le-Wear?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Witton-le-Wear from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire floor and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
