Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Wood floor repair in Chignall St James, done in place
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Typical jobs include dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Chignall St James and across Essex. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures

- One picture of the whole floor
- One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Chignall St James, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Landlord and trade work in Chignall St James
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chignall St James as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Questions from Chignall St James
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Chignall St James is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- 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 before booking.
What we work on
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
