Wood floor repair in Oborne without replacing anything
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Whether it’s chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances, we can help, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring alike.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Repairing versus replacing in Oborne
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DT9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
