About our wood floor repair in Tongue
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s burns and gouges from moving appliances, we can normally put it right, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Tongue, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Tongue, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Your questions about wood floor repair in Tongue
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we are working on.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Highland. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Tongue
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add 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.
