Wood floor repair in Sorbie

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Wood floor repair in Sorbie without replacing anything

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Whether it’s burns and gouges from moving appliances, we can help.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Sorbie. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole floor

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Sorbie

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dumfries and Galloway.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do you work in Sorbie?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Sorbie and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Sorbie

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Sorbie. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Sorbie clients choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Sorbie

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
