For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- One price list for the entire UK

Ratho: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Edinburgh. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are there extra charges for Ratho?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
