About wood floor repair in Hartlepool

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Cost

Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For landlords and businesses

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

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How the damage happens

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place.

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected

Your questions about wood floor repair in Hartlepool

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Hartlepool. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
