Wood floor repair in Elham without replacing anything
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We’re often asked to fix chipped board edges and dents from dropped items, on laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Elham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t 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 trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Elham, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Common questions in Elham
What does wood floor repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CT4 postcode.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
