Questions from Ratho Station

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Ratho Station?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Ratho Station.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

About our wood floor repair in Ratho Station

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Ratho Station

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you’re in Ratho Station and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
