How we handle wood floor repair in Bruntsfield

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We’re frequently asked to fix burns and dents from dropped items, across engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Your questions about wood floor repair in Bruntsfield

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What affects the price in Bruntsfield

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace in Bruntsfield?

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
