Wood floor repair in Nairn, done in place
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Whether it’s gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Your questions about wood floor repair in Nairn
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Common problems we fix in Nairn
Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Dents from dropped items
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Chipped board edges
- Gouges from moving appliances
Before booking anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Nairn. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole floor
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
