Our wood floor repair service in South Tyneside

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We work on laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and burns.

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to 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. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Common problems we fix in South Tyneside

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Look out for these signs:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Dents from dropped items

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place.

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether they match the colour on site

South Tyneside questions

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
