Wood floor repair for Shettleston homes

How we handle wood floor repair in Shettleston

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include gouges from moving appliances and burns, on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

What affects the price in Shettleston

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Questions from Shettleston

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Do you cover Shettleston?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Shettleston from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Glasgow and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
