DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- 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 you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Little Thurlow Green: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire floor and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we’re working on.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
