DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
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 without visiting.
Oban and the surrounding area

We cover every part of PA34 and the streets around it. Local streets include Market Street, High Street and Argyll Square. Oban sits on or near the A85 and A816, so getting to you is simple.

Around Oban
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Oban High School, Caledonian Hotel and Old Parish Church and the streets around them. Oban has its own railway station: Oban station. Other landmarks nearby include Oban Museum (0.6 miles north) and Dunollie Castle (1.2 miles north-west). For a walk, there is Lochan Dubh.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
