How we handle wood floor repair in Fountainhall
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on solid wood, engineered wood and laminate flooring, and common reasons people contact us are dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole floor
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Everything repaired in place
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
