Wood floor repair near East Malling

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Wood floor repair at your home in East Malling

We repair damaged boards in place, 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), laminate flooring and engineered wood, and common reasons people get in touch are dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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 frequently lifts.

East Malling: your questions answered

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

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.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you come to East Malling?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to East Malling for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
