Wood floor repair at your home in Southbourne
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. If you are dealing with chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Around Southbourne, most homes have tiled kitchens, bathrooms or hard floors. We repair damage without lifting the floor.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. If your floor in Southbourne is sound, a repair is typically the better choice.
Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Generally one visit, start to finish

Southbourne questions
My house in Southbourne is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?
Usually: original pieces are often better made and harder to replace. Send photos and we will advise.
Do you take on commercial work in Southbourne?
Yes, we work for schools, leisure centres and businesses, and our accreditations include CHAS and Constructionline. Send photos and details of the building.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Southbourne
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Southbourne

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole floor
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
