About our wood floor repair in Dousland
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. If you’re dealing with dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

FAQs for Dousland
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you cover Dousland?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Dousland and the rest of Devon. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re 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 fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Dousland, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Dousland. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
