Wood Floor Repair across Dumfries and Galloway

About wood floor repair in Dumfries and Galloway

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We are often asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, in solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Landlord and trade work in Dumfries and Galloway

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dumfries and Galloway as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place.

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back

Most clients in Dumfries and Galloway get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

FAQs for Dumfries and Galloway

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we are working on.
