DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Wood floor repair in Thorpe Green without replacing anything
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. If you’re dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.
Somewhere like Thorpe Green, older homes may still have their original floors, which are worth keeping. We repair rather than replace.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Thorpe Green questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Thorpe-Le-Soken station?
Yes, rental work is a big part of what we do, and a repair between tenants is normally quicker than replacing.
My house in Thorpe Green is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?
In most cases: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. In an older home in a village like Thorpe Green, replacing a floor can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Do you need wood floor repair in Thorpe Green?
Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chipped board edges
- Dents from dropped items
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Burns
If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as Parish Church of St Michael, old tiles are hard to match, so repairing a damaged one keeps the original floor.
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
