Wood floor repair in Thurso

Wood floor repair in Thurso, done in place

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Our repair technicians work on laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are burns and gouges from moving appliances.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Repairing versus replacing in Thurso

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Common questions in Thurso

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do you work in Thurso?

We do. We send a technician to Thurso for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Common problems we fix in Thurso

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can give you a fixed quote.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Thurso, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Highland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

If you are in Thurso and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
