Wood floor repair at your home in Eltringham
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, we can help, on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.

What affects the price in Eltringham
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Eltringham
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eltringham use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For anyone letting property in or around Eltringham, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Eltringham questions
What does wood floor repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NE43 postcode.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Eltringham.
Do you come to Eltringham?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Eltringham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
