About our wood floor repair in Hermiston
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances, across solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
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 to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Hermiston: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you work in Hermiston?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hermiston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hermiston
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
