Wood floor repair at your home in Hunston

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and people most often call us about scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hunston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Hunston get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Hunston

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

  • No need to remove anything
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Questions from Hunston

Do you cover Hunston?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hunston and the rest of Suffolk. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, 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.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

When to call us in Hunston

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
