Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Goldenacre

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Goldenacre. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Read our prices page.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Goldenacre. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Landlord and trade work in Goldenacre

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Goldenacre use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry

Common questions in Goldenacre

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you work in Goldenacre?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Goldenacre and the rest of Edinburgh. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Goldenacre.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
