Wood floor repair for Dean Village homes

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Wood floor repair in Dean Village, done in place

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We are often asked to fix chipped board edges and burns, across engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Dean Village

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Dean Village. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Questions from Dean Village

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?

Across the UK, and that includes Dean Village. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Edinburgh.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
