Trusted wood floor repair in Liberton

Wood floor repair in Liberton without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Our technicians work on engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are burns and scratches from furniture and pets.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about wood floor repair in Liberton

How much does wood floor repair cost in Liberton?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Edinburgh, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Repairing versus replacing in Liberton

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area

See our pricing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EH16 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
