Wood floor repair at your home in Durweston
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are gouges from moving appliances and burns.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Durweston. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 generally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Common questions in Durweston
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you come to Durweston?
We do. We send a technician to Durweston for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
