Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What else we do in Leiston
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 normally cheaper.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Leiston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Leiston, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
