Other services in Garlieston
What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Garlieston. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole floor
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairing versus replacing in Garlieston
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
