How we handle wood floor repair in Craigmillar
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and people most often call us about burns and chipped board edges.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

FAQs for Craigmillar
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We clean the damaged area.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Craigmillar. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
