Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Swanley: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you come to Swanley?

We do. We send a technician to Swanley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

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

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

What we work on

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