Repairing versus replacing in Fochabers

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Wood floor repair in Fochabers without replacing anything

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our repair technicians work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Common questions in Fochabers

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Do you need wood floor repair in Fochabers?

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Gouges from moving appliances

Before you book anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fochabers

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fochabers use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Laminate flooring
  • Solid wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Engineered wood

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
