Wood floor repair near Coldharbour

Wood floor repair in Coldharbour, done in place

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We’re often asked to fix burns and gouges from moving appliances, on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

How we price wood floor repair

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • One picture of the whole floor
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to compare quotes

Questions from Coldharbour

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you come to Coldharbour?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Coldharbour and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No need to remove anything

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
