Wood & laminate floor repair in Old Town, Edinburgh
Fixed-price wood floor repair in Old Town and the surrounding area, typically in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Dents from dropped items
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Wood floor repair in Old Town, done in place
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, across engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

How it 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 clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can

Your questions about wood floor repair in Old Town
Do I have to be there?

How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we are working on.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

Will it make a mess?

Should you replace it?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
