Wood floor repair near Restalrig

Wood floor repair in Restalrig without replacing anything

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We are often asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Restalrig

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we are working on.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Restalrig

Replacing a 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
