About our wood floor repair in Cambridge Heath
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Our repair technicians work on engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cambridge Heath. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Cambridge Heath questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we are working on.
Are there extra charges for Cambridge Heath?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Cambridge Heath and the rest of Greater London. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire floor
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
