Wood Floor Repair for Inveresk homes
Scratch, dent, chip and burn repairs to wood and laminate floors in Inveresk, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chipped board edges
- Scratches from furniture and pets
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
About our wood floor repair in Inveresk
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. If you are dealing with burns and chipped board edges, we can normally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

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:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Inveresk
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Which areas do you work in?
All of East Lothian, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
