For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
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. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Common problems we fix in East Calder
Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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 make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
