How we handle wood floor repair in Sapiston
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped board edges and dents from dropped items.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Common questions in Sapiston
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you work in Sapiston?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sapiston and the rest of Suffolk. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we’re working on.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
