How we handle wood floor repair in Kames
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We are frequently asked to fix dents from dropped items and burns, in laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kames: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kames. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
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. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
