Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Wood floor repair at your home in Tenston
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Orkney Islands. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What affects the price in Tenston
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
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 price.

Common questions in Tenston
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you cover the whole of the Orkney Islands?
All of the Orkney Islands, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Tenston
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
