Wood floor repair in Thornton, done in place
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Our technicians work on engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most frequently call us about gouges from moving appliances and burns.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Common problems we fix in Thornton
Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Chipped board edges
- Burns
- Dents from dropped items
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thornton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Work done at your home or business
- Everything repaired in place

How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the damaged area.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common questions in Thornton
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you cover the whole of Fife?
We work UK-wide, so Thornton is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Thornton. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your KY1 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
