Wood floor repair for Tonbridge homes

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain 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. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

About our wood floor repair in Tonbridge

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We’re frequently asked to fix burns and chipped board edges, in engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Honest limits

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

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Engineered wood

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Questions from Tonbridge

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Tonbridge is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Are there extra charges for Tonbridge?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
