About our wood floor repair in Woodsford
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Whether it’s chipped board edges and dents from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodsford
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Woodsford
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
