What affects the price in Lauder
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
For a price in Lauder, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Wood floor repair in Lauder, done in place
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you’re dealing with gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Lauder
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Lauder?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Lauder and the rest of the Scottish Borders. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lauder
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A year’s guarantee on all work

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Lauder
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
About our accreditations · Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.
