Repairing versus replacing in Dimsdale
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we cannot put right
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
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Dimsdale. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire floor
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
