For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
About our wood floor repair in St Abbs
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We’re often asked to fix dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, in laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
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 spills right away.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for St Abbs. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
Most clients in St Abbs get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
