How we handle wood floor repair in Penicuik

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Our technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Penicuik and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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 typically the cheaper route.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Penicuik

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Penicuik. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Penicuik. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

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.
