About our wood floor repair in Riverhead
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We are frequently asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Riverhead and across Kent. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Riverhead
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

FAQs for Riverhead
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Riverhead.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole floor
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What a repair can’t fix
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
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
Do you need wood floor repair in Riverhead?
Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Dents from dropped items
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Burns
- Chipped board edges
Comparing quotes
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- If travel is included in the price
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
