Wood floor repair at your home in Ingliston

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We’re frequently asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, across solid wood, engineered wood and laminate flooring.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Common questions in Ingliston

What areas do you cover?

All of Edinburgh, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Ingliston.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 usually the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Read our pricing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

What affects the price in Ingliston

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
