How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Cowgate

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in Cowgate

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Cowgate?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are there extra charges for Cowgate?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you cover Cowgate?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cowgate from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before you book

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
