Wood floor repair at your home in Dunollie

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Typical jobs include dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, on engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Repairing versus replacing in Dunollie

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  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. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What affects the price in Dunollie

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Dunollie. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
