About our wood floor repair in Somerleyton

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We are frequently asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and burns, across laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

When to call us in Somerleyton

Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Burns

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Somerleyton, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
