Wood floor repair in Fordwich

What affects the price in Fordwich

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How we handle wood floor repair in Fordwich

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Whether it’s gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, we can help, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

FAQs for Fordwich

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

We cover the whole UK, including Fordwich and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Repair or replace in Fordwich?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Engineered wood

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

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

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
