How we handle wood floor repair in Tilbury
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and burns.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

What affects the price in Tilbury
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole floor
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
