Choosing a repair company

Wood floor repair at your home in Bishop's Stortford

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. If you’re dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and burns, we can help, on engineered wood, laminate flooring and solid wood alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Repairing versus replacing in Bishop's Stortford

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Common questions in Bishop's Stortford

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Do you cover Bishop's Stortford?

We do. Technicians travel to Bishop's Stortford from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

The process

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
