About our wood floor repair in Birkenside
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our repair technicians work on laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Birkenside and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Do you work in Birkenside?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Birkenside from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

The entire UK, including all of Midlothian. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Do you hold any accreditations?

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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 generally the cheaper route.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the damaged area.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price

Related advice
Do you need wood floor repair in Birkenside?
Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Dents from dropped items
- Burns
- Gouges from moving appliances
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour-matched on site
- Everything repaired in place
- A fixed quote before booking
