Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Typical jobs include chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, in laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Common problems we fix in Lewiston
Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

- Chipped board edges

Common questions in Lewiston
Do you cover Lewiston?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Lewiston and the rest of Highland. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Where we work around Lewiston
Lewiston is about 13 miles south-west of Inverness, in Highland. Our work suits any type of property, from flats and terraces to detached houses and new builds, plus businesses and rented homes. We cover all 253 towns and villages in Highland, from the larger towns to small villages.
Jobs in IV63 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. We regularly work on streets such as Dal of Borlum, Carn Glas and Carriers Croft and the roads around them. Neighbouring places we cover include Drumnadrochit (1 mile north), Torness (4 miles east), Gorthleck (6 miles south), Dores (7 miles north-east) and Kiltarlity (8 miles north).

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed 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.
