Wood floor repair in Charlestown without replacing anything
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. If you are dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Charlestown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Charlestown questions
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
How much does wood floor repair cost in Charlestown?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you cover the whole of Aberdeen?
We cover the whole UK, including Charlestown and the rest of Aberdeen. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I fix it myself?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Common problems we fix in Charlestown
Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

- Next we fill the dents and chips.

- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
