Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

All of Moray, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

About our wood floor repair in Newmill

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We regularly repair laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about burns and chipped board edges.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can price the job without visiting.

Advice

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

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

What we work on

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

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
