How we handle wood floor repair in Dunshalt

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Typical jobs include dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Dunshalt

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Our hiring checklist

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

Questions from Dunshalt

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you work in Dunshalt?

We do. We send a technician to Dunshalt for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you cover the whole of Fife?

Everywhere in the UK, Dunshalt included. There is no extra charge for travel.
