How we handle wood floor repair in Vassa
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our repair technicians work on engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Vassa as everywhere else we work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Vassa questions
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Vassa. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Vassa, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What else we do in Vassa
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Shetland Islands and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For anyone letting property in or around Vassa, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Everything repaired in place
- One price list for the whole UK
