Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire floor
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Cockerton, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Wood floor repair at your home in Cockerton
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We’re frequently asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

How it works
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. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Cockerton: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DL3 postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What areas do you cover?
All of Darlington, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Repair or replace in Cockerton?
Replacing a board frequently 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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
