Your questions about wood floor repair in Poltimore
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Do you cover the entire of Devon?
Across the UK, and that includes Poltimore. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
How we handle wood floor repair in Poltimore
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for scratches from furniture and pets and burns, in engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Landlord and trade work in Poltimore
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Poltimore
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

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. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Poltimore. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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.

- Something in shot to show the size
