About our wood floor repair in Shawfair
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, in solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Shawfair and across Midlothian. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Shawfair customers choose us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- No extra charge for your area
- We leave the room as we found it
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

What affects the price in Shawfair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
