DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Wood floor repair in Skirling without replacing anything

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Whether it’s dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Advice

New-build snagging: repairing chips and scratches

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

How hard the colour is to match
What the surface is made of
Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

Details of any past repairs
One picture of the whole floor
Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Skirling

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Skirling: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
