Wood floor repair in Great Oakley without replacing anything
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Typical jobs include burns and chipped board edges, across engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Great Oakley, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why Great Oakley clients choose us
