Wood floor repair in Milborne Port, done in place

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We’re frequently asked to fix dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances, across solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace in Milborne Port?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What we’re called out for in Milborne Port

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Burns
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Chipped board edges

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
