Wood floor repair in Drylaw, done in place

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We are often asked to fix burns and dents from dropped items, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Drylaw and across Edinburgh. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

What we are called out for in Drylaw

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Drylaw

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What affects the price in Drylaw

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

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size

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

Repair or replace in Drylaw?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Your questions about wood floor repair in Drylaw

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What do you need from me?

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

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
