Wood floor repair in South Hornchurch, done in place
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We work on laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are burns and chipped board edges.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

South Hornchurch: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in South Hornchurch.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to South Hornchurch. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole floor
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why book with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Work done at your home or business
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
