Wood floor repair near Bonnington

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Bonnington

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Bonnington. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Engineered wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Solid wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bonnington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Bonnington questions

Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?

Everywhere in the UK, Bonnington included. There is no extra charge for travel.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Bonnington?

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

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you cover Bonnington?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Bonnington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Do you need wood floor repair in Bonnington?

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
