Wood floor repair in Canongate without replacing anything
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you’re dealing with gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole floor
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What we’re called out for in Canongate
Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Burns
- Dents from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price

Common questions in Canongate
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Canongate
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Canongate use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
