Wood floor repair in Start Hill without replacing anything
We repair damaged boards in place, 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, engineered wood and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Repair or replace in Start Hill?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Start Hill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One visit for most repairs
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Landlord and trade work in Start Hill
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
