Wood Floor Repair in Auldcathie
Our repair technicians come to Auldcathie for scratch, dent, chip and burn repairs to wood and laminate floors. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Burns
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Auldcathie use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
How we handle wood floor repair in Auldcathie
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our repair technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring, and people most often call us about scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

What else we do in Auldcathie
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you are in Auldcathie and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Should you replace it?

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Auldcathie. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
