Wood floor repair in Dobwalls, done in place
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Our repair technicians work on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Questions from Dobwalls
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Dobwalls
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dobwalls use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire floor
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
