Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs 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 quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can

FAQs for Rottingdean
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
How much does wood floor repair cost in Rottingdean?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Just around the damaged area.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Rottingdean, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
