About our wood floor repair in Chester Moor

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped board edges and burns.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Chester Moor, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
