Wood floor repair in Dorcan, done in place
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. If you are dealing with gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, we can usually put it right, on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Questions from Dorcan
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dorcan as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why Dorcan customers choose us
- Same prices wherever you are
- We leave the room as we found it
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
See our prices page.
What we cannot put right
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
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
