Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in Davidson's Mains

Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Davidson's Mains

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Davidson's Mains. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

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. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
