Wood floor repair in Simshill, done in place
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Whether it’s dents from dropped items and burns, we can help, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Repairing versus replacing in Simshill
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Simshill: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Simshill.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
