About our wood floor repair in Bitterne
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We are often asked to fix dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Bitterne, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How the visit works

- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Common questions in Bitterne
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
- Laminate flooring
What affects the price in Bitterne
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Bitterne. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
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. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
