DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Roslin use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in Roslin
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, 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.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire floor
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

FAQs for Roslin
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we are working on.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
