What kind of repairs can hardwood floor services help with?
Scratches, scuffs, and squeaky boards? Hardwood floor repair services can handle them all. Whether it’s a single damaged plank or years of wear and tear, tradespeople who offer wood floor repairs can restore your floors without replacing them entirely.
Here are some of the most common repairs they tackle:
Fixing dents and scratches – caused by furniture, shoes, or general life.
Replacing damaged boards – if a section of floor has been stained or warped.
Sanding and refinishing – to bring tired timber back to life.
Filling gaps and cracks – especially in older homes where floorboards have shifted.
Re-securing loose planks – because nobody likes a floor that clicks with every step.
So whether it's cosmetic damage or something more structural, a tradesperson who works with hardwood floors can help you avoid the cost (and faff) of a full replacement.
How long do hardwood floor repairs take?
Most hardwood floor repairs can be completed in a day or two. The exact time depends on the scale of the job and the condition of your floor. For small fixes like patching up a scratch or replacing a single board, you could be done and dusted in a few hours.
Bigger jobs – like sanding and refinishing an entire room – will take longer. As a rough guide:
Minor repairs: a few hours
Sanding and sealing: 1–3 days depending on drying times
Multiple room fixes: up to a week
The floor repairer you hire should talk you through the timeline during your quote, so you’ll know what to expect (and when to roll the rugs back out).
Can you repair parquet floors?
Yes, parquet floors can absolutely be repaired – though it takes a bit of know-how. These patterned wooden floors are made up of lots of small blocks, so repairs need to be precise to maintain the design.
A tradesperson who offers parquet repairs might help with:
Replacing damaged or missing blocks
Re-gluing loose pieces
Sanding and resealing to even out colour and texture
Blending in new timber with existing blocks for a seamless finish
Done well, parquet floor repair keeps the character of your home intact, and saves you from the cost of a complete replacement.
How much do hardwood flooring repairs cost?
According to our figures, the average cost for wooden floor restoration is £42 per m² for sanding and refinishing.
The exact price you pay will depend on a number of factors, such as the type of wood, the kind of repairs your floor needs, and how widespread the damage is. Hardwood floors in particular tend to need a great level of care.
