Should I try a DIY kit 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Wood floor repair in Chichester without replacing anything
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, across laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Repairing versus replacing in Chichester
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
