Book wood floor repair in Bury St Edmunds

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Wood floor repair in Bury St Edmunds without replacing anything

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Our repair technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Our hiring checklist

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Bury St Edmunds. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

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.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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.

Questions from Bury St Edmunds

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you come to Bury St Edmunds?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Bury St Edmunds and the rest of Suffolk. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Bury St Edmunds. Our prices are the same everywhere.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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