About our wood floor repair in Bookham

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We work on laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to 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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged 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. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bookham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you’re in Bookham and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
