How we handle wood floor repair in Kenton
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Landlord and trade work in Kenton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kenton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kenton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole floor
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
