Wood floor repair in Donhead St Andrew, done in place
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Common problems we fix in Donhead St Andrew
Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Dents from dropped items
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Burns
- Chipped board edges
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long it needs to cure
- If travel is included in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
