Wood floor repair in Stisted without replacing anything

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

When to call us in Stisted

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Chipped board edges

Before booking anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in Stisted

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

See our full price list.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Stisted

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Do you work in Stisted?

We do. We send a technician to Stisted for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How do I book?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you cover the whole of Essex?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stisted use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Laminate flooring
  • Solid wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Engineered wood
