What affects the price in Methil
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How we handle wood floor repair in Methil
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, in laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Methil as everywhere else we work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Methil questions
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you cover Methil?
We do. We send a technician to Methil for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Methil and the rest of Fife. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
When to call us in Methil
Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Burns
- Chipped board edges
- Dents from dropped items
- Gouges from moving appliances
Before booking anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- How to look after the finish

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
