About our wood floor repair in Risby
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We’re frequently asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances, on laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Repairing versus replacing in Risby
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Risby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Risby
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Risby. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire floor
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Risby: your questions answered
What does wood floor repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work in Risby?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Risby and the rest of Suffolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
