Wood floor repair near Cranbrook

Wood floor repair in Cranbrook, done in place

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are chipped board edges and burns.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Engineered wood
