Whether it’s gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, we can typically put it right, on solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Garlinge questions
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Garlinge?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we’re working on.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Garlinge. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kent.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Garlinge
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
