How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can price the job without visiting.

About our wood floor repair in Eccles

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, in laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Scottish Borders. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Eccles

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

For anyone letting property in or around Eccles, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Common questions in Eccles

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Eccles and the rest of the Scottish Borders. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Engineered wood

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a 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. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?
