Wood floor repair at your home in Crail

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, across engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Crail. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our full price list.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Common questions in Crail

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you cover Crail?

We do. We send a technician to Crail for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you cover the whole of Fife?

The whole UK, including all of Fife. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Crail

  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.
