Wood floor repair at your home in Old Hawkinge

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Whether it’s gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, we can normally put it right, on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place

Old Hawkinge questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Old Hawkinge

  • Engineered wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Laminate flooring
  • Solid wood

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, 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

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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 match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Old Hawkinge. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most clients in Old Hawkinge get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
