Wood floor repair in Thurning, done in place
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Typical jobs include scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, in solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
