About our wood floor repair in Garvald

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s burns and gouges from moving appliances, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Garvald as everywhere else we work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Garvald

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Garvald. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Questions from Garvald

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Garvald?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do you work in Garvald?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Garvald and the rest of East Lothian. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Laminate flooring
  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
