Bridport questions
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you come to Bridport?
We do. We send a technician to Bridport for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Wood floor repair in Bridport, done in place
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most often call us about burns and chipped board edges.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Bridport. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
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. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
