Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Our technicians work on laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood, and people most frequently call us about burns and scratches from furniture and pets.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Coalburns and across Gateshead. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in Coalburns

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Coalburns. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Take a look at our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
