Wood floor repair in Hawick, done in place
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring, and people most frequently call us about scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What else we do in Hawick
Common questions in Hawick
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How much does wood floor repair cost in Hawick?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TD9 postcode.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Are there extra charges for Hawick?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Hawick
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
