Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Wood floor repair in Dalmeny, done in place
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We are frequently asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and burns, in engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

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 works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Dalmeny
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Are there extra charges for Dalmeny?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you come to Dalmeny?
We do. Technicians travel to Dalmeny from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
