What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Swanley

  • Engineered wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

  • Chipped board edges
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Burns

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Swanley, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Swanley. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most clients in Swanley get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
