Wood Floor Repair in Lochee
Scratch, dent, chip and burn repairs to wood and laminate floors in Lochee, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Chipped board edges
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 fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we handle wood floor repair in Lochee
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Common call-outs are for scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What affects the price in Lochee
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole floor
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DD2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Lochee: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Do you cover the whole of Dundee?
We cover the entire UK, including Lochee and the rest of Dundee. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
