Repairing versus replacing in Chinatown
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. For a flat in Chinatown, replacement can also disturb neighbours below and need the building manager’s say-so. Repairing is much less disruptive.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

About our wood floor repair in Chinatown
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood, and people most often call us about chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances.
In a London flat like many in Chinatown, lifting a floor is a big job. Wood floor repair in place leaves everything else alone.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chinatown
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Common questions in Chinatown
Is it hard to park for a visit in Chinatown?
With a bit of notice, it’s rarely a problem: just mention bays, permits or off-street space when you book.
Can you repair floors at a school or business in Chinatown?
Yes. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations and work for schools, leisure centres and businesses. We’ll agree timings that suit the building.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are there extra charges for Chinatown?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we tidy up before we leave.
What we are called out for in Chinatown
Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
Look out for these signs:
- Chipped board edges
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Dents from dropped items
- Gouges from moving appliances
As a London address, Chinatown can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole floor
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together. In Chinatown, the main thing to plan is parking and access: let us know the floor, whether there is a lift and about permits or bays.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
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’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Chinatown: what to know about wood floor repair
Landlords with property near Tottenham Court Road station (in Chinatown itself) use us between tenancies, so floors are repaired rather than replaced. In the older streets of Chinatown, around landmarks like St Anne's Church, old tiles are hard to match, so repairing a damaged one keeps the original floor.
