Wood floor repair for Dunnet homes

Wood floor repair at your home in Dunnet

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Common questions in Dunnet

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Dunnet?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you come to Dunnet?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Dunnet from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I fix it myself?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we’re called out for in Dunnet

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Burns

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place

Dunnet and the surrounding area

Dunnet is about 7 miles east of Thurso, in Highland. We visit customers in Dunnet and nearby villages, so you do not need to take anything anywhere. Dunnet is one of 253 places in Highland where we work.

Neighbouring places we cover include Brough (2 miles north), Castletown (3 miles south-west), Scarfskerry (3 miles north-east), Rattar (3 miles north-east) and Murkle (4 miles south-west).

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire floor

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
