Wood floor repair in Hackington, done in place
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We are frequently asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price

Hackington: your questions answered
Do you work in Hackington?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Hackington and the rest of Kent. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we are working on.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
