About our wood floor repair in Melness

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Typical jobs include gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, on solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Melness and across Highland. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IV27 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Melness: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you work in Melness?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Melness. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Melness.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Laminate flooring
  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
