About our wood floor repair in Cairston
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you’re dealing with dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, we can typically put it right, on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cairston and across the Orkney Islands. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What else we do in Cairston
Repair or replace in Cairston?

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cairston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
