We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, in engineered wood, laminate flooring and solid wood.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

Repair or replace in Tranent?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Tranent

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH33 postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Are there extra charges for Tranent?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
