Advice
Your questions about wood floor repair in Blackbank
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we are working on.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Blackbank. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire floor
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most customers in Blackbank 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.

Why repair rather than replace?
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. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
