Wood & laminate floor repair in Barnhill, Dundee
Wood floor repair across Barnhill and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Scratches from furniture and pets
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Wood floor repair in Barnhill without replacing anything
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Typical jobs include gouges from moving appliances and burns, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole floor
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
