About our wood floor repair in Forbes
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Typical jobs include chipped board edges and burns, on solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Forbes: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole floor and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Forbes and the rest of Aberdeenshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.

- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

When a repair is not the answer

What affects the price in Forbes
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Forbes, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
