How we handle wood floor repair in Great Welnetham
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We are frequently asked to fix chipped board edges and burns, in solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP30 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Your questions about wood floor repair in Great Welnetham
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Great Welnetham included. There is no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.
