How we handle wood floor repair in Upton

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. If you’re dealing with dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t 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.

Materials we work on in Upton

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Laminate flooring
  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Upton questions

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover Upton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Upton and the rest of Dorset. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to 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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our prices page.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price
