Wood floor repair in Glengolly without replacing anything
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Whether it’s chipped board edges and dents from dropped items, we can generally put it right, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Glengolly and across Highland. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace in Glengolly?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
