Common questions in Dalry
How much does wood floor repair cost in Dalry?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Dalry.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
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 will say so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace in Dalry?

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
