FAQs for Newbattle
Do you cover the entire of Midlothian?
Across the UK, so Newbattle is covered. Prices do not change with location.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Newbattle. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can price the job without visiting.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair

- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newbattle
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newbattle use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the damaged area.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
