Our hiring checklist

Wood floor repair in Marley, done in place

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Typical jobs include gouges from moving appliances and burns, in engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace in Marley?

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Marley. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Marley questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Marley.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
