Repairing versus replacing in Dunbar
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colour-matched on site

About our wood floor repair in Dunbar
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Our repair technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are burns and scratches from furniture and pets.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Dunbar questions
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover Dunbar?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Dunbar for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
How much does wood floor repair cost in Dunbar?

What affects the price in Dunbar
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can give you a fixed quote.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dunbar as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
