Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Polstead as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Wood floor repair at your home in Polstead
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, engineered wood and laminate flooring, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you are in Polstead and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Polstead questions
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What areas do you cover?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
