Wood floor repair in Ettrickbridge, done in place

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Whether it’s gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, we can typically put it right, on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Ettrickbridge: your questions answered

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Ettrickbridge

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
