How we handle wood floor repair in Paddock Wood

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Our technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are chipped board edges and burns.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Signs you need wood floor repair in Paddock Wood

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns
  • Gouges from moving appliances

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to look after the finish
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Repairing versus replacing in Paddock Wood

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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry
