10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Benwell. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Benwell: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Benwell?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you come to Benwell?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Benwell. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Newcastle upon Tyne and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Benwell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole floor

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
