Wood floor repair in Thomshill without replacing anything

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Landlord and trade work in Thomshill

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Moray and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Thomshill

  • Engineered wood
  • Solid wood

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Thomshill questions

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

What your quote should include

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in Thomshill

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
