FAQs for Dunston
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you come to Dunston?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Dunston and the rest of Gateshead. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Gateshead.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Dunston, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What else we do in Dunston
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
