Wood floor repair in Elie without replacing anything
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Whether it’s chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, we can help, on engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage

The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once

About Elie
Elie is about 14 miles east of Glenrothes, in Fife. We work in every kind of home, from flats and terraces to detached houses and new builds, plus businesses and rented homes. Elie is one of 133 towns and villages in Fife we cover. We work right across the region, from Elie to Edinburgh (about 23 miles away).
All of KY9 is covered, from the main roads to the quietest streets. We regularly work on streets such as High Street, The Terrace and Stenton Row and the roads around them. Nearby, we also work in Earlsferry (1 mile west), Kilconquhar (1 mile north), Barnyards (1 mile north), St Monance (2 miles north-east) and Colinsburgh (2 miles north-west).

What else we do in Elie
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
