When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the damage.

Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Questions from Hornchurch
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
