Wood floor repair in Elmsett, done in place
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair engineered wood, laminate flooring and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are chipped board edges and dents from dropped items.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- We clean the damaged area.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate flooring

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
