Wood floor repair in Burnmouth

Landlord and trade work in Burnmouth

About our wood floor repair in Burnmouth

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and burns.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Burnmouth questions

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
