Need wood floor repair in Diss?

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Wood floor repair in Diss without replacing anything

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Common call-outs are for burns and chipped board edges, in solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Diss and across Suffolk. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
