How we handle wood floor repair in Slateford
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Whether it’s gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Your questions about wood floor repair in Slateford
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
