Wood floor repair in Swingfield Minnis without replacing anything
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Our repair technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring, and common reasons people contact us are scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Swingfield Minnis questions
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Swingfield Minnis and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we’re working on.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Swingfield Minnis. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Swingfield Minnis, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.

Advice
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
