About our wood floor repair in Reay
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We work on solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood, and common reasons people contact us are scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Reay questions
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Common problems we fix in Reay
Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Burns
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Chipped board edges
- Gouges from moving appliances
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

Repairing versus replacing in Reay
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
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 will reply with a fixed quote.
