How we handle wood floor repair in Bishopwearmouth
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most often call us about gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Should you replace it?

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we are called out for in Bishopwearmouth
