When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Landlords, agents and businesses in Walston

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole floor

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your ML11 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Walston questions

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of South Lanarkshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you come to Walston?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Walston and the rest of South Lanarkshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.
