Wood floor repair at your home in Dowlish Ford
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Our repair technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring, and common reasons people contact us are scratches from furniture and pets and burns.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Dowlish Ford. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire floor
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Dowlish Ford, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Questions from Dowlish Ford
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
