Trusted wood floor repair in Whitstable

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Solid wood
  • Laminate flooring

  • Engineered wood

About our wood floor repair in Whitstable

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you’re dealing with gouges from moving appliances and burns, we can help, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Whitstable

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole floor and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

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 usually the cheaper route.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Whitstable. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire floor

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Whitstable

  • Scratches from furniture and pets

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
