About our wood floor repair in Lower Nyland
Laminate swollen by water can’t 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 burns, across solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Engineered wood
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
