About our wood floor repair in Wivenhoe Cross
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, 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 chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Repair or replace in Wivenhoe Cross?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Wivenhoe Cross questions
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are there extra charges for Wivenhoe Cross?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
