Waltham questions
How much does wood floor repair cost in Waltham?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we’re working on.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
Everywhere in the UK, Waltham included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you come to Waltham?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Waltham. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
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.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Wood floor repair in Waltham without replacing anything
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We’re often asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Repairing versus replacing in Waltham
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Waltham use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Waltham. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates

- Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
