Common questions in Fishpond Bottom

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Wood floor repair at your home in Fishpond Bottom

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood, and common reasons people contact us are gouges from moving appliances and burns.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset. 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 Fishpond Bottom. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Laminate flooring
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Engineered wood
  • Solid wood

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.
