About our wood floor repair in Little Whelnetham
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We’re often asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common problems we fix in Little Whelnetham
Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chipped board edges
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Dents from dropped items
- Gouges from moving appliances
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
