Wood floor repair in Elmstead Market without replacing anything
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Whether it’s burns and chipped board edges, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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 won’t last.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Elmstead Market. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
See our prices page.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CO7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
