Wood floor repair in Hillhead, done in place
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We work on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and people most often call us about chipped board edges and dents from dropped items.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Glasgow. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Landlord and trade work in Hillhead
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Hillhead: your questions answered
How much does wood floor repair cost in Hillhead?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your G12 postcode.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Hillhead.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we’re working on.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
