Advice
Wood floor repair at your home in Sherborne
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Our technicians work on laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What else we do in Sherborne
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Sherborne. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No extra charge for your area
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Sherborne: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better 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.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Sherborne?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sherborne use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Sherborne. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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.
What we work on
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
