Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you are in Pentlow and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How we handle wood floor repair in Pentlow
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood, and people most often call us about chipped board edges and dents from dropped items.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Pentlow and across Suffolk. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we’re called out for in Pentlow
Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Chipped board edges
- Dents from dropped items
- Burns
Questions to ask before booking
- If travel is included in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged 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. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Questions from Pentlow
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Pentlow?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CO10 postcode.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Pentlow. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
