Wood floor repair in Leith, done in place

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Our technicians work on engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Leith. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Read our pricing.

For landlords and businesses

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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Leith use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Common questions in Leith

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is there a guarantee?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Leith?

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EH6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
