Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Wood floor repair in Hillhead, done in place
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We work on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- 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.

For landlords and businesses

Questions from Hillhead
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is the work guaranteed?

What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your KA6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
