Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We regularly repair laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are burns and gouges from moving appliances.

What affects the price in Creeksea
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What else we do in Creeksea
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Creeksea
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Common questions in Creeksea
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

What we’re called out for in Creeksea
Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chipped board edges
- Burns
- Scratches from furniture and pets

Before you book anyone
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
