Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Whether it’s gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, we can help, on solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Take a look at our pricing.

What affects the price in Matfield

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise 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.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire floor
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Matfield

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Matfield

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can landlords book you?

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
