Wood floor repair in Harkstead, 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 be honest about that. We are often asked to fix chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Harkstead. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Your questions about wood floor repair in Harkstead
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Harkstead?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we are called out for in Harkstead
Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Chipped board edges
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Dents from dropped items
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What prep work is covered
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How long it needs to cure
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
