About our wood floor repair in Vidlin

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood, and common reasons people get in touch are burns and dents from dropped items.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Vidlin and across the Shetland Islands. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about wood floor repair in Vidlin

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you come to Vidlin?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Vidlin. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Vidlin?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

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

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

Materials we work on in Vidlin

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Engineered wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Solid wood

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repair or replace in Vidlin?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What affects the price in Vidlin

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Vidlin. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • The material, if you know it

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in Vidlin, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
