Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, 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 are paying for.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What we’re called out for in Haggerston
Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Burns
- Dents from dropped items

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Haggerston questions
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole floor and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we’re working on.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
