About our wood floor repair in Skelmorlie

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. If you are dealing with burns and scratches from furniture and pets, we can generally put it right, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Repairing versus replacing in Skelmorlie

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Skelmorlie. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
