We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances, we can help, whatever the material.

Questions from Gislingham

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire floor

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Gislingham, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Gislingham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our pricing.

When to call us in Gislingham

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Burns
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Chipped board edges
  • Dents from dropped items

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
