- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Wood floor repair in Fairlight Cove without replacing anything
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you’re dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Fairlight Cove
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Your questions about wood floor repair in Fairlight Cove
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you come to Fairlight Cove?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Fairlight Cove and the rest of East Sussex. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Repair or replace in Fairlight Cove?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
