Repairing versus replacing in Fernieside
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Fernieside. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Fernieside
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Questions from Fernieside
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
