How we handle wood floor repair in Moffat
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We work on engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Moffat: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Moffat is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Are there extra charges for Moffat?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.

Landlord and trade work in Moffat
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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole floor
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the damaged area.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
