Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add 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.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Questions from Wimborne St Giles
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
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.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Wimborne St Giles included. Travel is included in the price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What else we do in Wimborne St Giles
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
