How we handle wood floor repair in Stow
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Typical jobs include chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Stow as everywhere else we work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Stow
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire floor and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Landlord and trade work in Stow
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Scottish Borders and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
