Wood floor repair in Kirkcudbright, done in place

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you are dealing with dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, we can usually put it right, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Kirkcudbright questions

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you work in Kirkcudbright?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Kirkcudbright for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

The whole UK, including all of Dumfries and Galloway. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

When can you do it?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirkcudbright

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirkcudbright as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
