Wood floor repair at your home in Kelsale
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and people most frequently call us about burns and scratches from furniture and pets.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Repairing versus replacing in Kelsale
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kelsale. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Kelsale. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.
FAQs for Kelsale

Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
