Your questions about wood floor repair in Kingston
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we’re working on.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Kingston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Signs you need wood floor repair in Kingston
Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chipped board edges
- Burns
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Dents from dropped items
Before you book anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Repair or replace in Kingston?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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.
