About our wood floor repair in Foots Cray

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Whether it’s dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, we can typically put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a 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. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Foots Cray. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  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. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

FAQs for Foots Cray

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you cover Foots Cray?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Foots Cray. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Foots Cray?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DA14 postcode.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

What affects the price in Foots Cray

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Foots Cray. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

Most customers in Foots Cray get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
