Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Wood floor repair in Stromness, done in place
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on engineered wood, laminate flooring and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace in Stromness?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- No extra charge for your area

The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Common questions in Stromness
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we are working on.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

- Burns
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Dents from dropped items
- Scratches from furniture and pets
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

- Who will actually do the work
- How the room is protected while they work
What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
