Wood floor repair at your home in Cuidhir

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We work on solid wood, engineered wood and laminate flooring, and people most often call us about dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.

Common problems we fix in Cuidhir

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Dents from dropped items

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before booking

Your questions about wood floor repair in Cuidhir

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Na h-Eileanan Siar.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price
