Wood floor repair at your home in Gestingthorpe
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We’re frequently asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Gestingthorpe. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
