Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Do you need wood floor repair in Seasalter?

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Burns
  • Gouges from moving appliances

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Seasalter. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Seasalter

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Seasalter use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Seasalter: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Repairing versus replacing in Seasalter

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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Read our prices page.

Honest limits

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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Solid wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Laminate flooring
  • Engineered wood

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
