Wood floor repair in Scottish Borders

Landlords, agents and businesses in Scottish Borders

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

For anyone letting property in or around Scottish Borders, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How we handle wood floor repair in Scottish Borders

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We’re often asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, in solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring.

You’re covered after we leave: 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.

Scottish Borders questions

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of South Lanarkshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Do you come to Scottish Borders?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Scottish Borders from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you need wood floor repair in Scottish Borders?

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Gouges from moving appliances

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Scottish Borders

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Scottish Borders. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
