Thorpe Cross questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
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.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Thorpe Cross.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Wood floor repair in Thorpe Cross, done in place
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We work on engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Everything repaired in place

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Thorpe Cross
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thorpe Cross as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Thorpe Cross. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Thorpe Cross, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
