Wood floor repair at your home in Fairmilehead
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We work on laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Fairmilehead and across Edinburgh. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
When a repair is not the answer

- Laminate swollen along the joints by water

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole floor
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
