Repairing versus replacing in Tweedbank

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tweedbank

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Scottish Borders and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

First the damaged area is cleaned.
Next we fill the dents and chips.
We sand the repair flush with the board.
We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

What affects the price in Tweedbank

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Where the damage is and how we get to it
How many areas need work

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

A wider photo showing the entire floor
A close-up of the damage, in focus
A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?
