- Repairs from £95
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Gouges from moving appliances
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Wood floor repair in Denholm, done in place
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and burns, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 you book.
What we work on
- Engineered wood
- Laminate flooring

Common questions in Denholm
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work in Denholm?
We do. Technicians travel to Denholm from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we’re working on.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire floor
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
