About our wood floor repair in Garnethill

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We’re often asked to fix dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances, on laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Garnethill: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Garnethill?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlord and trade work in Garnethill

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Glasgow and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
