About our wood floor repair in Twelve Oaks
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and common reasons people get in touch are dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
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 price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
When to call us in Twelve Oaks
Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Repairing versus replacing in Twelve Oaks
Replacing a board frequently 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. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
