Wood floor repair in Shipton Gorge without replacing anything
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We work on engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

FAQs for Shipton Gorge
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Repair or replace in Shipton Gorge?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Landlord and trade work in Shipton Gorge
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
