Wood floor repair for New Eltham homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

How we handle wood floor repair in New Eltham

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We regularly repair engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most often call us about burns and chipped board edges.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Advice

New Eltham questions

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes New Eltham. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do I need to be at home?

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

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

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