How we handle wood floor repair in Soham
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. We’re often asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Soham: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What affects the price in Soham
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
