Wood floor repair for Wincheap homes

Landlord and trade work in Wincheap

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Wood floor repair at your home in Wincheap

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you’re dealing with burns and dents from dropped items, we can generally put it right.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Repairing versus replacing in Wincheap

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

When we’d advise against a repair

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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Laminate flooring
  • Solid wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Engineered wood

Do you need wood floor repair in Wincheap?

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Wincheap questions

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wincheap. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Wincheap get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for 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 start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CT1 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
