Wood floor repair in Tarves

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Wood floor repair at your home in Tarves

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We regularly repair laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and people most often call us about scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tarves as everywhere else we work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

FAQs for Tarves

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Aberdeenshire.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Tarves, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repair or replace in Tarves?

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. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

What affects the price in Tarves

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
