When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

FAQs for Takeley Street

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
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?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What affects the price in Takeley Street
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Takeley Street. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Takeley Street, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
