Repair or replace in Elswick?

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole floor
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common questions in Elswick
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Elswick.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
