How we handle wood floor repair in Galston
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

What does wood floor repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
