Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Do you need wood floor repair in Auchtermuchty?

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Burns
  • Gouges from moving appliances

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

Repairing versus replacing in Auchtermuchty

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
