How we handle wood floor repair in Westgate-on-Sea
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. If you are dealing with chipped board edges and dents from dropped items, we can usually put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Westgate-on-Sea
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Westgate-on-Sea

Repair or replace: which is better?

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Westgate-on-Sea. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
