- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on

Wood floor repair at your home in Toab
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include burns and dents from dropped items, in engineered wood, laminate flooring and solid wood.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What else we do in Toab
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Advice
Toab questions
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
What areas do you cover?
All of the Orkney Islands, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, 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.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
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.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
