Wood floor repair near St George in the East

Wood floor repair in St George in the East without replacing anything

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We regularly repair solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Questions from St George in the East

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your E1 postcode.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Yes, we do. We send a technician to St George in the East for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Repairing versus replacing in St George in the East

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
