Wood floor repair in Leytonstone without replacing anything
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Leytonstone
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Questions from Leytonstone
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you come to Leytonstone?
We do. Technicians travel to Leytonstone from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take 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.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Leytonstone, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
