Questions from Overcombe
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Dorset. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
About our wood floor repair in Overcombe
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We’re frequently asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

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 generally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
