About our wood floor repair in Easthouses
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Whether it’s scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, we can generally put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Easthouses. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Easthouses: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
All of Midlothian, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Easthouses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Easthouses as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
