What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Wood floor repair in Yelland, done in place
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We are often asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances, across engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For anyone letting property in or around Yelland, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Yelland
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are there extra charges for Yelland?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
