About our wood floor repair in Kingsknowe
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s chipped board edges and dents from dropped items, we can generally put it right, on solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Do you need wood floor repair in Kingsknowe?
Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

- Chipped board edges
- Burns
What to look for in a quote

- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
