Wood floor repair in Altens without replacing anything
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. If you’re dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances, we can usually put it right, on engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Altens and across Aberdeen. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Questions from Altens
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Do you need wood floor repair in Altens?

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts 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.

What happens on the day

- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
