Wood & laminate floor repair in Hankham, East Sussex
Our technicians come to Hankham for scratch, dent, chip and burn repairs to wood and laminate floors. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Burns
- Gouges from moving appliances
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Wood floor repair in Hankham, done in place
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Hankham: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you work in Hankham?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Hankham and the rest of East Sussex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
If you manage property in Hankham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What affects the price in Hankham
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
