Wood & laminate floor repair in Wilton Dean, Scottish Borders
Scratch, dent, chip and burn repairs to wood and laminate floors in Wilton Dean, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Scratches from furniture and pets
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Wood floor repair at your home in Wilton Dean
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We work on laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most frequently call us about chipped board edges and dents from dropped items.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Common questions in Wilton Dean
Are there extra charges for Wilton Dean?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Wilton Dean. Prices do not change with location.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
