About our wood floor repair in Trimley St Martin
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. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood, and common reasons people get in touch are gouges from moving appliances and burns.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

FAQs for Trimley St Martin
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What affects the price in Trimley St Martin
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
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.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
