For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whitesmith as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Wood floor repair in Whitesmith without replacing anything
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Whitesmith and across East Sussex. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Your questions about wood floor repair in Whitesmith
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire floor and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
