Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cairndow. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

Most customers in Cairndow get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Our hiring checklist

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 few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cairndow

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.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
