How we handle wood floor repair in Chidham

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and burns.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Chidham, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Chidham

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Chidham. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

FAQs for Chidham

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

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 pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you work in Chidham?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Chidham and the rest of West Sussex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you need wood floor repair in Chidham?

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

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
