Wood floor repair in Gretna, done in place

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. If you are dealing with dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, we can normally put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Gretna. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Gretna customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our pricing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gretna

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Common questions in Gretna

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
