How to compare quotes

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most clients in Gutch Common get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common questions in Gutch Common

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Gutch Common. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business
