About our wood floor repair in Dimson

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are burns and dents from dropped items.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dimson as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around Dimson, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dimson. The price reflects:

The material and finish
Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Doing more than one item at once
The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

Natural light rather than flash
The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

First the damaged area is cleaned.
Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
We level the repair to the board surface.
We match the colour and grain by hand.
We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

New-build snagging: repairing chips and scratches

Can I fix it myself?

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common questions in Dimson

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we are working on.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

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

Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
