How we handle wood floor repair in Dowbiggin
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We work on engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and burns.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Repairing versus replacing in Dowbiggin
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Dowbiggin
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Dowbiggin?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What affects the price in Dowbiggin

- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole floor
Most customers in Dowbiggin get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dowbiggin
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY kit or professional 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
