Wood floor repair at your home in Hollingdean
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. If you’re dealing with gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, we can help, on solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hollingdean
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hollingdean: your questions answered
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you come to Hollingdean?
We do. We send a technician to Hollingdean for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

See our pricing.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate flooring
