Wood floor repair in Bexley Riverside

About our wood floor repair in Bexley Riverside

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Typical jobs include gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, on engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DA8 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
