Wood floor repair in Melbury Osmond without replacing anything
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Our technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Can I fix it myself?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Melbury Osmond: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you come to Melbury Osmond?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Melbury Osmond for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What we’re called out for in Melbury Osmond
Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Burns
- Dents from dropped items
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- 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
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire floor
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Engineered wood
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
