Wood floor repair at your home in Cattawade
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. If you’re dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances, we can usually put it right, on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole floor
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CO11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cattawade as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Cattawade: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Cattawade included. Travel is included in the price.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you come to Cattawade?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Cattawade. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Cattawade.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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 the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can price the job without visiting.
