What affects the price in Lower Rainham
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Lower Rainham. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
We don’t add 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
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Rainham
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Medway and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Lower Rainham questions
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair several things at once?

Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire floor and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
