Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

Common problems we fix in Catford

Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Gouges from moving appliances

Your questions about wood floor repair in Catford

Do you come to Catford?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Catford. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Catford?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your SE6 postcode.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Repair or replace in Catford?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Catford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Take a look at our pricing.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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 before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
