What affects the price in Etchingham
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole floor
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
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 to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Etchingham
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we’re called out for in Etchingham
Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Dents from dropped items
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Chipped board edges
- Burns

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Etchingham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
