About our wood floor repair in Gisleham

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most frequently call us about scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NR33 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Gisleham: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • 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.
