Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How we handle wood floor repair in Kirbister
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Whether it’s chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

What else we do in Kirbister
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
