Wood floor repair for Dorchester homes

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Dorchester

  • Laminate flooring
  • Engineered wood
  • Solid wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

Wood floor repair at your home in Dorchester

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Our repair technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and dents from dropped items.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Do you need wood floor repair in Dorchester?

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Burns

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dorchester as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
