Advice
How we handle wood floor repair in Cresswell
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. If you’re dealing with chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, we can usually put it right, on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Can I fix it myself?
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Your questions about wood floor repair in Cresswell
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you cover Cresswell?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cresswell. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.

What affects the price in Cresswell
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
