When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Signs you need wood floor repair in Kettlebaston

Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Kettlebaston. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kettlebaston: your questions answered

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
