Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Palnackie. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One visit for most repairs

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DG7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Palnackie

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What areas do you cover?

All of Dumfries and Galloway, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Palnackie?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dumfries and Galloway and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Palnackie, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
