Common questions in Insch
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Just around the damaged area.
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Insch?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Wood floor repair in Insch, done in place
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We’re often asked to fix chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Landlord and trade work in Insch
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

- Dents from dropped items
- Burns
- Scratches from furniture and pets
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
- Aftercare advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
