Wood floor repair in Balintore without replacing anything
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Common questions in Balintore
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
Most clients in Balintore get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Balintore
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What else we do in Balintore
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Balintore. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
