Wood floor repair in Gowkshill, done in place
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. If you’re dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and burns, we can help, on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Gowkshill: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Gowkshill and the rest of Midlothian. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we are working on.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gowkshill
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gowkshill use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repair or replace in Gowkshill?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
