Wood floor repair near Little France

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Little France

  • Engineered wood
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

About our wood floor repair in Little France

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Whether it’s chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances, we can generally put it right, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

What affects the price in Little France

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EH17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

10 questions to ask before you book

Little France questions

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Edinburgh, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Little France.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

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.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repair or replace in Little France?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
