Wood floor repair for Askerswell homes

About our wood floor repair in Askerswell

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Typical jobs include scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Questions from Askerswell

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we are working on.

Do you cover the entire of Dorset?

All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Askerswell?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Askerswell. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
