About our wood floor repair in Shawhead
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on solid wood, engineered wood and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Shawhead and across Dumfries and Galloway. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Shawhead: your questions answered
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shawhead
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
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 to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DG2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
