How to compare quotes

Wood floor repair in Thornhill, done in place

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring, and people most frequently call us about gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

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

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Thornhill

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dumfries and Galloway and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What affects the price in Thornhill

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Thornhill. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Thornhill questions

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover the entire of Dumfries and Galloway?

Everywhere in the UK, Thornhill included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Thornhill?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DG3 postcode.

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
