Wood floor repair in Hoath without replacing anything

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, in solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Repairing versus replacing in Hoath

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hoath. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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 pictures.

Do you need wood floor repair in Hoath?

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Burns
  • Chipped board edges
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Engineered wood
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate flooring

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hoath, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

We work UK-wide, so Hoath is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

How do I book?

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

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For a price in Hoath, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
