DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Chowdene. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We do not add 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.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Newcastle upon Tyne and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Chowdene questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Do you cover the whole of Newcastle upon Tyne?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
When to call us in Chowdene
Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Burns
- Chipped board edges
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
