Repairing versus replacing in Old Heath

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Wood floor repair at your home in Old Heath

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We regularly repair solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood, and people most often call us about chipped board edges and dents from dropped items.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Old Heath, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Old Heath

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you work in Old Heath?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Old Heath and the rest of Essex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
