Wood floor repair in Aird without replacing anything

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll 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 burns, we can typically put it right.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Aird

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Aird?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Aird. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Aird. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole floor

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DG9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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.
