Repair or replace in Dornock?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Dornock. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

If you are in Dornock and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Landlord and trade work in Dornock

For anyone letting property in or around Dornock, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Dornock questions

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Dumfries and Galloway. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
