Wood floor repair in Hythe, 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 regularly repair solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are chipped board edges and burns.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. 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’ll get a fixed figure.

Why Hythe clients choose us

  • One visit for most repairs

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Hythe

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Do you work in Hythe?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Hythe. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Are there extra charges for Hythe?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

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 reply with a fixed quote.
