Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
About our wood floor repair in Wallyford
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood, and common reasons people contact us are dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Lothian. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Common questions in Wallyford
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you cover the whole of East Lothian?
We work UK-wide, so Wallyford is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What affects the price in Wallyford
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Wallyford
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
