Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Dunston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Wood floor repair at your home in Dunston
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. We’re often asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and burns, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

What else we do in Dunston
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dunston. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we’re called out for in Dunston
Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Dents from dropped items
- Chipped board edges
- Burns
- Gouges from moving appliances
Comparing quotes
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
