Wood floor repair in Harbledown, done in place

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. Our repair technicians work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and burns.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace in Harbledown?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Questions from Harbledown

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Harbledown and the rest of Kent. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
