About our wood floor repair in West Horndon

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Typical jobs include burns and scratches from furniture and pets, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Repair or replace in West Horndon?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for West Horndon. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Our hiring checklist

West Horndon: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we are working on.

Do you cover the entire of Essex?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can I fix it myself?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
