Wood floor repair for St Margarets homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

How we handle wood floor repair in St Margarets

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Our technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring, and common reasons people contact us are scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in St Margarets

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our pricing.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including St Margarets. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can price the job.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in St Margarets

St Margarets questions

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
