Wood floor repair near Brettenham

Wood floor repair in Brettenham without replacing anything

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are chipped board edges and dents from dropped items.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire floor
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your IP7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

10 questions to ask before you book

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Brettenham

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

  • One visit for most repairs

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Brettenham: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Do you come to Brettenham?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Brettenham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
