Wood floor repair at your home in Snargate

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We work on laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about chipped board edges and dents from dropped items.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used 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. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Landlord and trade work in Snargate

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Snargate: your questions answered

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TN29 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
