About our wood floor repair in Shalmsford Street
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, in solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
