DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Wood floor repair in Godmersham without replacing anything
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. Our technicians work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Godmersham
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match

Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire floor
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
