If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How we handle wood floor repair in East Hardwick
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. We regularly repair laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.

Repairing versus replacing in East Hardwick
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What else we do in East Hardwick
When a repair isn’t the answer

Common problems we fix in East Hardwick

- Chipped board edges
- Burns
- Dents from dropped items
- Scratches from furniture and pets
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What affects the price in East Hardwick
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
