About our wood floor repair in Smarden Bell

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Typical jobs include gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, across engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace in Smarden Bell?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Questions from Smarden Bell

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

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

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you charge for travel?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
