Landlord and trade work in Chinatown
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chinatown use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Wood floor repair at your home in Chinatown
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We work on laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace in Chinatown?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One price list for the whole UK
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Chinatown. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most clients in Chinatown get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. 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 price.
