How we handle wood floor repair in Borden
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We work on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Borden and across Kent. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Borden
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Borden?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
