Capel-le-Ferne questions

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

Everywhere in the UK, Capel-le-Ferne included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our prices page.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Capel-le-Ferne, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Capel-le-Ferne. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What happens on the day

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

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Capel-le-Ferne, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Laminate flooring
  • Engineered wood
  • Solid wood

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
