Wood Floor Repair near Edinburgh

Repairing versus replacing in Edinburgh

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Wood floor repair at your home in Edinburgh

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and people most often call us about chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
