DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Wood floor repair in Plaistow, done in place
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood, and people most often call us about scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Plaistow and across Greater London. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in Plaistow
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
