Trusted wood floor repair in Tendring

Wood floor repair at your home in Tendring

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood, and common reasons people contact us are gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges.

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. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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 usually the cheaper route.

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repair or replace in Tendring?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
