Wood Floor Repair for Stoneykirk homes

- Repairs from £95

- Scratches from furniture and pets
How we handle wood floor repair in Stoneykirk
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you’re dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances, we can usually put it right.
In a village like Stoneykirk, floors in older homes may be original, and those are worth looking after. A repair keeps them.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together. For a rural address like Stoneykirk, we plan the journey in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the wood floor repair, so there is no second trip.
- We clean the damaged area.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
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 photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. In an older home in a village like Stoneykirk, replacing a floor can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
