Wood floor repair in Chatham without replacing anything
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. If you are dealing with dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.
Common questions in Chatham
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you cover the whole of Medway?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we’re working on.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Chatham, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
