Wood floor repair in Ringlestone

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Wood floor repair at your home in Ringlestone

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Typical jobs include burns and scratches from furniture and pets, across solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before you book

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Ringlestone. What changes the price is:

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Ringlestone

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Is repairing better than replacing?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
