Wood floor repair near Herne Pound

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Herne Pound. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we handle wood floor repair in Herne Pound

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring, and common reasons people contact us are chipped board edges and burns.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Herne Pound questions

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole floor and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

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’ll arrange it.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
