Trusted wood floor repair in Ballachulish

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we handle wood floor repair in Ballachulish

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

What affects the price in Ballachulish

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairing versus replacing in Ballachulish

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
