About our wood floor repair in Greenlaw

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Greenlaw and across the Scottish Borders. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

What wood floor repair costs

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

Most clients in Greenlaw get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Greenlaw, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Greenlaw clients choose us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

  • Underfloor damage

10 questions to ask before booking

Questions from Greenlaw

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Do you cover Greenlaw?

We do. We send a technician to Greenlaw for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
