Wood floor repair in Holland-on-Sea, done in place

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are burns and gouges from moving appliances.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Holland-on-Sea. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our prices page.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CO15 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
