How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole floor
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How we handle wood floor repair in Lyminge
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Our technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

What else we do in Lyminge
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. 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, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Questions from Lyminge
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Landlord and trade work in Lyminge
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
