Wood floor repair near Lyme Regis

Wood floor repair in Lyme Regis, done in place

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Laminate flooring
  • Engineered wood
  • Solid wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Common questions in Lyme Regis

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most customers in Lyme Regis get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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

What we are called out for in Lyme Regis

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Chipped board edges
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Lyme Regis customers choose us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Read our pricing.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
