How we handle wood floor repair in Old Pentland
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EH20 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Old Pentland
Do you come to Old Pentland?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Old Pentland from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
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.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Old Pentland?
