Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
About our wood floor repair in South Chailey
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Whether it’s scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, we can help.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Landlord and trade work in South Chailey
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for South Chailey. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is

Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Is it messy?

Do you cover South Chailey?
We do. We send a technician to South Chailey for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
Are you a vetted contractor?

How much does wood floor repair cost in South Chailey?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
