Wood floor repair in Iford without replacing anything

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We are frequently asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Iford and across Dorset. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we are called out for in Iford

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Burns
  • Gouges from moving appliances

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Iford, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
