If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Wood floor repair at your home in Lybster

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We’re often asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, in laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Lybster questions

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Highland, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your KW3 postcode.

  • Burns
  • Dents from dropped items

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lybster. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
