DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
Wood floor repair at your home in Saughtonhall
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Common call-outs are for chipped board edges and burns, in laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.
