How we handle wood floor repair in Waterside

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Whether it’s chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances, we can help, on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Repair or replace in Waterside?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage

Your questions about wood floor repair in Waterside

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you cover the entire of East Ayrshire?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Waterside. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When to call us in Waterside

  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
