Choosing a repair company

Wood floor repair in Yaxley without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We work on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most often call us about chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Yaxley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Yaxley get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Yaxley questions

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Landlord and trade work in Yaxley

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Yaxley use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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 usually cheaper.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
