Wood floor repair at your home in Kentford

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Typical jobs include gouges from moving appliances and burns, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairing versus replacing in Kentford

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Kentford questions

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do you come to Kentford?

We do. We send a technician to Kentford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Kentford?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, 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 have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Related advice

What affects the price in Kentford

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Kentford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
