About our wood floor repair in Silverknowes

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Whether it’s gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Silverknowes, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Silverknowes?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH4 postcode.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire floor

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. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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