About our wood floor repair in Higham
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, on engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Higham and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
FAQs for Higham
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
Do you work in Higham?
We do. We send a technician to Higham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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.

- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
