Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we handle wood floor repair in Durlston
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We are often asked to fix burns and gouges from moving appliances, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood.
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 immediately.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
