Wood & laminate floor repair in Alder Hills, Poole
Fixed-price wood floor repair in Alder Hills and the surrounding area, normally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chipped board edges
- Dents from dropped items
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Wood floor repair in Alder Hills, done in place
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Common call-outs are for dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What affects the price in Alder Hills
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Alder Hills, and we will reply with a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
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.
FAQs for Alder Hills
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you come to Alder Hills?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Alder Hills. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Alder Hills. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
