Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Wood floor repair in Eastbourne, done in place
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

What does wood floor repair cost?

What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
