Wood floor repair in Northbourne, done in place

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Northbourne

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Are there extra charges for Northbourne?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

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 normally the cheaper route.

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.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

First the damaged area is cleaned.
Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
The repair is levelled to the board.
The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

Clear the area around the damage
Let the surface dry out before the visit
Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

The material and finish
Doing more than one item at once
Unusual colours or finishes
Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

Any earlier repairs or coatings
Something in shot to show the size
Where you are, by postcode
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Northbourne

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.
