Wood floor repair in Kirkton, done in place

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. If you are dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and burns, we can generally put it right, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Kirkton

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Kirkton customers choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Questions from Kirkton

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you work in Kirkton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Kirkton and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
