When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Tarbolton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your KA5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Tarbolton

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How to care for the finish
  • How soon you can use it again

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tarbolton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Tarbolton: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of East Ayrshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

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