Wood floor repair at your home in Brightlingsea
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’re frequently asked to fix chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Brightlingsea and across Essex. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Brightlingsea. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Common questions in Brightlingsea
How much does wood floor repair cost in Brightlingsea?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your CO7 postcode.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we are working on.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
