DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
How we handle wood floor repair in Cold Higham
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We’re often asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and burns, in engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Repairing versus replacing in Cold Higham
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Cold Higham questions
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover Cold Higham?
We do. We send a technician to Cold Higham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
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.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
