Wood floor repair in Tilty, done in place
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most frequently call us about chipped board edges and burns.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Tilty
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
