Advice
About our wood floor repair in Thorndon
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. If you’re dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and burns, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thorndon
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thorndon as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Thorndon. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How much damage there is
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Common questions in Thorndon
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, 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.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
