About our wood floor repair in Rivers' Corner

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Rivers' Corner. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Questions from Rivers' Corner

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you cover the whole of Dorset?

Everywhere in the UK, Rivers' Corner included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are there extra charges for Rivers' Corner?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Laminate flooring

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Signs you need wood floor repair in Rivers' Corner

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Burns

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
