Wood floor repair in Lauriston without replacing anything
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We’re often asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and burns, on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure 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 Lauriston
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Lauriston. The price comes down to:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repairing versus replacing in Lauriston
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Lauriston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
