Wood floor repair in Silton, done in place
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We work on engineered wood, laminate flooring and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Silton: your questions answered
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
We cover the whole UK, including Silton and the rest of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
When to call us in Silton
Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
Look out for any of the following:
- Dents from dropped items
- Chipped board edges
- Burns
- Scratches from furniture and pets
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How your room will be protected
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
