Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the whole floor
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Wood floor repair in Hawstead, done in place
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Typical jobs include burns and chipped board edges, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- 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
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Hawstead questions
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What we’re called out for in Hawstead
Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
Look out for these signs:
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Chipped board edges
- Dents from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Hawstead
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
