How we handle wood floor repair in Fontmell Magna
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Our technicians work on engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are dents from dropped items and burns.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Fontmell Magna as everywhere else we work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

What else we do in Fontmell Magna
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Fontmell Magna: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we are working on.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Fontmell Magna and the rest of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What to look for in a quote

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
