How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

How we handle wood floor repair in Aultbea

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Whether it’s chipped board edges and dents from dropped items, we can help, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Repairing versus replacing in Aultbea

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Aultbea customers choose us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Aultbea, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Questions from Aultbea

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Aultbea included. Travel is included in the price.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we are working on.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
