Wood Floor Repair for Sorn homes
Wood floor repair for Sorn, without a refit. Send us pictures for a fixed price, then book a visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Burns
- Chipped board edges
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
About our wood floor repair in Sorn
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. If you are dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and burns, we can generally put it right, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
