What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Braintree. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
How we handle wood floor repair in Braintree
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. If you’re dealing with chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, we can typically put it right, on solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
- Laminate flooring
FAQs for Braintree
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you cover Braintree?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Braintree and the rest of Essex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

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