Harlow questions
Are there extra charges for Harlow?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we are working on.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

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. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
