How we handle wood floor repair in Gateforth
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 work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are burns and scratches from furniture and pets.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Gateforth
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you work in Gateforth?
We do. We send a technician to Gateforth for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Repair or replace in Gateforth?

What affects the price in Gateforth
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gateforth. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
