How we handle wood floor repair in Galashiels
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We regularly repair laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood, and people most often call us about dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Your questions about wood floor repair in Galashiels
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Are there extra charges for Galashiels?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
