Wood floor repair at your home in Stretham
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the damaged area.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most customers in Stretham get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stretham use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What else we do in Stretham
Your questions about wood floor repair in Stretham
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you come to Stretham?
We do. Technicians travel to Stretham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are there extra charges for Stretham?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
