About our wood floor repair in Cresswell
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. If you are dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, we can help, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How it works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry

What else we do in Cresswell
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
What affects the price in Cresswell
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Cresswell. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Repairing versus replacing in Cresswell
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
