How we handle wood floor repair in Hintlesham

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We’re often asked to fix dents from dropped items and burns, across solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 work on in Hintlesham

  • Laminate flooring
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Can I fix it myself?

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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Hintlesham. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
