Wood floor repair at your home in Hinton

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. If you’re dealing with chipped board edges and dents from dropped items, we can typically put it right, on engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hinton and across Dorset. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Are you accredited?

How much does wood floor repair cost in Hinton?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Do you charge for travel?

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

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hinton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repairing versus replacing in Hinton

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hinton. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Hinton, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

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

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
