Questions from Bimbister
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across the Orkney Islands.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we’re working on.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
