About our wood floor repair in Stock

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Stock

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Stock.

Is it messy?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Do you cover the entire of Essex?

The entire UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole floor

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
