How we handle wood floor repair in Kingsdown

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring, and people most frequently call us about scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Signs you need wood floor repair in Kingsdown

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Kingsdown get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Kingsdown

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your ME9 postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
