Wood floor repair in Waterloo without replacing anything
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Lanarkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Waterloo, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
