DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Wood floor repair in Dunbury, done in place
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, across laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Questions from Dunbury
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we’re working on.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Dorset.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
If you are in Dunbury and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
