About our wood floor repair in Norton
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Common questions in Norton
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?
Everywhere in the UK, Norton included. Travel is included in the price.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Repairing versus replacing in Norton
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Norton. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Norton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
