Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Typical jobs include dents from dropped items and burns, across laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Oaker Hill questions

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What we cannot put right

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’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Laminate flooring
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood

What affects the price in Oaker Hill

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Oaker Hill. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

If you’re in Oaker Hill and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repair or replace in Oaker Hill?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Oaker Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No need to remove anything

Landlords, agents and businesses in Oaker Hill

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oaker Hill as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
