Your questions about wood floor repair in Gowkhall
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Gowkhall?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your KY12 postcode.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Fife. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price

Advice
What affects the price in Gowkhall
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Fife and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Gowkhall. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
