Wood floor repair at your home in Little Dunmow
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Typical jobs include scratches from furniture and pets and burns, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Little Dunmow. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Dunmow use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents often 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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
