How we handle wood floor repair in Inverness

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently 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.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Inverness. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Laminate flooring
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood

Common problems we fix in Inverness

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
