How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Markinch. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How we handle wood floor repair in Markinch
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Typical jobs include scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Questions from Markinch
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Fife. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What we are called out for in Markinch
Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Burns
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Chipped board edges
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- If travel is included in the price
- How your room will be protected
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
