How we handle wood floor repair in Clovenfords
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We work on engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and burns.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

- Chipped board edges

- What happens if they find more damage
The process
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
