Wood floor repair in Seton

Wood floor repair in Seton, done in place

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances, in engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Seton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Lothian and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Seton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Engineered wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Laminate flooring
  • Solid wood

Repairing versus replacing in Seton

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. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Seton clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

10 questions to ask before booking

Seton questions

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Seton and the rest of East Lothian. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Do you cover Seton?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Seton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
