About our wood floor repair in Wivenhoe Quay

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring, and common reasons people contact us are scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace in Wivenhoe Quay?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before you book

Read our prices page.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What affects the price in Wivenhoe Quay

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
