Our hiring checklist

Wood floor repair in Shoreham without replacing anything

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 tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most frequently call us about chipped board edges and burns.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

What wood floor repair costs

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

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the whole floor
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you are in Shoreham and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Shoreham questions

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Are there extra charges for Shoreham?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you cover Shoreham?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Shoreham and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlord and trade work in Shoreham

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shoreham as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
