About our wood floor repair in Great Tey
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole floor
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CO6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Great Tey questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
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.
Do you work in Great Tey?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Great Tey and the rest of Essex. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Essex.

- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

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’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
