Wood floor repair at your home in Dittisham

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. We’re often asked to fix dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged 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. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Dittisham: your questions answered

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Dittisham?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you cover Dittisham?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Dittisham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Dittisham

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Get a quote
