About our wood floor repair in Southerness
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are burns and dents from dropped items.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Southerness. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Southerness
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dumfries and Galloway and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Your questions about wood floor repair in Southerness
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you come to Southerness?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Southerness and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
