How we handle wood floor repair in Balnabruich
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most often call us about dents from dropped items and burns.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What affects the price in Balnabruich
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Balnabruich. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood

Advice
For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
