Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. For a home around Lochgilphead where the floor is sound, replacing it is rarely worth the cost and disruption.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Advice

Questions from Lochgilphead

Do you take on commercial work in Lochgilphead?

Yes, and we’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited. We will agree timings that suit the building.

Is it worth repairing old floors in a period home in Lochgilphead?

Usually, yes. Older floors are frequently worth repairing rather than replacing. Photos let us tell you what we would recommend.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
