Should I try a DIY kit first?
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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
How we handle wood floor repair in Portmahomack
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We work on engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most frequently call us about chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Portmahomack. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
