Trusted wood floor repair in Chartham Hatch

Wood floor repair in Chartham Hatch without replacing anything

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Common call-outs are for burns and dents from dropped items, on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Chartham Hatch questions

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we are working on.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

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

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.

What affects the price in Chartham Hatch

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: 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.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
