Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Wichling. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole floor
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Wood floor repair in Wichling without replacing anything
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and people most frequently call us about scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Wichling as everywhere else we work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed 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.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
Common questions in Wichling
Do you work in Wichling?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Wichling and the rest of Kent. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Repairing versus replacing in Wichling
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
