Wood floor repair in Newton

Wood floor repair in Newton, done in place

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. If you are dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, we can help, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring alike.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Lothian. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not 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, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Questions from Newton

Do you cover the whole of West Lothian?

The entire UK, including all of West Lothian. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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 repair

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

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Lothian and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
