Wood floor repair at your home in Cotton
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are burns and gouges from moving appliances.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood

Questions from Cotton
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?
We cover the whole UK, including Cotton and the rest of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
