Landlord and trade work in The Lymes
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we handle wood floor repair in The Lymes
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s dents from dropped items and burns, we can help, on laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

The Lymes: your questions answered
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Look out for any of the following:
- Chipped board edges

- Scratches from furniture and pets

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Engineered wood
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
