About our wood floor repair in Kew

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 technicians work on engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Kew and across Sefton. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Repairing versus replacing in Kew

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually 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, then guarantee it for a year.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Kew

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Kew, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Kew questions

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Kew. Prices do not change with location.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
