Wood floor repair in Charlton-in-Dover without replacing anything

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on solid wood, engineered wood and laminate flooring, and people most frequently call us about gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Charlton-in-Dover

If you manage property in Charlton-in-Dover, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Charlton-in-Dover use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Questions from Charlton-in-Dover

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you come to Charlton-in-Dover?

We do. We send a technician to Charlton-in-Dover for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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.
