Wood floor repair in Symbister without replacing anything
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Common call-outs are for burns and scratches from furniture and pets, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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 quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Symbister: your questions answered
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Symbister?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
