Wood floor repair in Higher Bockhampton without replacing anything
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Higher Bockhampton
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Higher Bockhampton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage

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 anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Questions from Higher Bockhampton
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How much does wood floor repair cost in Higher Bockhampton?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire floor
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
