Wood floor repair near Botesdale

Wood floor repair in Botesdale without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Botesdale. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Botesdale. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
