Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Wood floor repair in Whitcombe without replacing anything
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’s the case. We work on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are burns and gouges from moving appliances.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the damaged area.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit

- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What else we do in Whitcombe
Common questions in Whitcombe
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we’re working on.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
The entire UK, including all of Dorset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitcombe
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
