Wood floor repair in Barnehurst, done in place

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Typical jobs include scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, in laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.

You’re 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Questions from Barnehurst

How much does wood floor repair cost in Barnehurst?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DA7 postcode.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barnehurst use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add 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.
