Wood floor repair at your home in Doulting
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We are frequently asked to fix dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances, on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.
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. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.
Repair or replace in Doulting?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Doulting
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What affects the price in Doulting
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Doulting: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you come to Doulting?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Doulting and the rest of Somerset. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the damaged area.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
