Trusted wood floor repair in Harcombe Bottom

Wood floor repair in Harcombe Bottom without replacing anything

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Our technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood, and people most frequently call us about scratches from furniture and pets and burns.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Harcombe Bottom questions

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Harcombe Bottom?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Our hiring checklist

How we price wood floor repair

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
