Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Wood floor repair at your home in Painters Ash
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We are often asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, in laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Your questions about wood floor repair in Painters Ash
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Do you come to Painters Ash?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Painters Ash and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Painters Ash, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
