Wood floor repair in Hoswick without replacing anything
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We’re frequently asked to fix chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances, in solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Common questions in Hoswick
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
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.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across the Shetland Islands.
Are there extra charges for Hoswick?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Landlord and trade work in Hoswick
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Hoswick, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
