About our wood floor repair in Stoke
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We are frequently asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

What affects the price in Stoke
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole floor
- What it’s made of, if you know
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Stoke: your questions answered

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Landlord and trade work in Stoke
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stoke as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Stoke, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
