Wood floor repair in Gateshead, done in place
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances, across solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.
Can I fix it myself?
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 typically the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Gateshead
- Laminate flooring

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Gateshead, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can price the job.

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. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Everything repaired in place
