About our wood floor repair in Aberdeen
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We are often asked to fix chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances, on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Aberdeen and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire floor
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Aberdeen
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
