Wood floor repair in Balgowan, done in place

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Perth and Kinross. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Engineered wood
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate flooring

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 typically the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Balgowan, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Balgowan. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Balgowan. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
