How we handle wood floor repair in Inverleith
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. If you are dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances, we can help, on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Inverleith questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Inverleith and the rest of Edinburgh. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we are working on.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we’re called out for in Inverleith
Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
