About our wood floor repair in Haywards Heath
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our technicians work on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Haywards Heath
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you come to Haywards Heath?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Haywards Heath. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Haywards Heath
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Haywards Heath
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
