About our wood floor repair in Kinson

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Our technicians work on laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood, and people most often call us about gouges from moving appliances and burns.

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

Kinson: your questions answered

How much does wood floor repair cost in Kinson?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Do you come to Kinson?

We do. We send a technician to Kinson for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Repair or replace in Kinson?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole floor
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kinson

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 usually the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
