Wood floor repair in Ruchill, done in place
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Our repair technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ruchill
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ruchill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your G20 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
