About our wood floor repair in Aberlady
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Our technicians work on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Landlord and trade work in Aberlady
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Aberlady, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we are called out for in Aberlady
Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Burns
- Dents from dropped items
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Scratches from furniture and pets
Before booking anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
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
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
