Wood floor repair at your home in Birtley
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for dents from dropped items and burns, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Birtley: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Birtley.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Birtley?

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DH3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
If you manage property in Birtley, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
