Hastings: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you cover Hastings?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hastings for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your TN34 postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Wood floor repair in Hastings, done in place
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Common call-outs are for chipped board edges and dents from dropped items, across engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Hastings, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
