Wood floor repair for Dunbeath homes

Landlord and trade work in Dunbeath

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dunbeath as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Wood floor repair in Dunbeath, done in place

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Our repair technicians work on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are burns and chipped board edges.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Dunbeath and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

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

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Dunbeath

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Dunbeath

Do you cover Dunbeath?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Dunbeath and the rest of Highland. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you cover the whole of Highland?

Across the UK, and that includes Dunbeath. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are there extra charges for Dunbeath?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Dunbeath. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
