About our wood floor repair in Langholm
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Our repair technicians work on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are burns and dents from dropped items.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

What affects the price in Langholm
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Advice
Common questions in Langholm
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Are there extra charges for Langholm?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Just around the damaged area.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

- Engineered wood

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
