About our wood floor repair in Lerwick
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s burns and dents from dropped items, we can help, on solid wood, engineered wood and laminate flooring alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

What else we do in Lerwick
How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lerwick. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Lerwick
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you cover Lerwick?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Lerwick from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Lerwick?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your ZE1 postcode.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairing versus replacing in Lerwick
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. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
