- Repairs from £95
- Dents from dropped items
- Burns
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ardler. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Wood floor repair in Ardler, done in place
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. If you’re dealing with dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Other services in Ardler
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Ardler
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dundee.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- 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 before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
