Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
About our wood floor repair in Long Eaton
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We’re often asked to fix dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, in laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a 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: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Long Eaton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we are working on.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Long Eaton. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NG10 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Long Eaton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
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.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
