DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Thurleigh
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
Repairing versus replacing in Thurleigh
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Thurleigh: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What affects the price in Thurleigh
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Thurleigh. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire floor
- Details of any past repairs
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your MK44 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
