How we handle wood floor repair in Galltair
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are burns and chipped board edges.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

What else we do in Galltair
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
If you are in Galltair and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

FAQs for Galltair
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Highland. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
