How we handle wood floor repair in Dial Post

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We regularly repair solid wood, engineered wood and laminate flooring, and common reasons people contact us are scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Dial Post questions

What happens after I send photos?

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

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Dial Post. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
