What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Pollokshields, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

What affects the price in Pollokshields
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
