What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Repair or replace in Barnton?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Barnton. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Do you need wood floor repair in Barnton?

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns

FAQs for Barnton

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Do you come to Barnton?

We do. We send a technician to Barnton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Barnton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
