About our wood floor repair in Bournmoor
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for dents from dropped items and burns, in laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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 booking.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you 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 relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

FAQs for Bournmoor
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we are working on.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole floor and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bournmoor use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
