Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Our repair technicians work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and people most frequently call us about burns and dents from dropped items.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
Most clients in Ballater get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repair or replace in Ballater?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why Ballater customers choose us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One visit for most repairs
- No need to remove anything
- One price list for the entire UK

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 usually cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Other services in Ballater
Landlord and trade work in Ballater
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
