Questions from Shimpling Street

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Wood floor repair in Shimpling Street without replacing anything

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Our technicians work on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most often call us about gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Laminate flooring
  • Engineered wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Solid wood

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs 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 there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
