Common questions in Drumbrae
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Wood floor repair in Drumbrae without replacing anything
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, across engineered wood, laminate flooring and solid wood.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
