Wood floor repair in Fobbing, done in place
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Whether it’s scratches from furniture and pets and burns, we can help, on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Fobbing
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fobbing as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the damaged area.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage

Fobbing questions
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we’re working on.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts 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 pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Fobbing. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
