Need wood floor repair in Back?

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we handle wood floor repair in Back

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What affects the price in Back

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you are in Back and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Back: your questions answered

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you cover Back?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Back from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
