DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common questions in Firrhill
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Firrhill. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Firrhill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What else we do in Firrhill
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Firrhill as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
