Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Alciston, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No need to remove anything
