Wood floor repair in Great Dunmow, done in place

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. We’re frequently asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Great Dunmow as everywhere else we work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Great Dunmow questions

Will the price change on the day?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Great Dunmow?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole floor
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Great Dunmow, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood
  • Laminate flooring

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
