Questions from Richborough Port
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Landlord and trade work in Richborough Port
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Richborough Port
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Richborough Port
