Need wood floor repair in Gatesheath?

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Wood floor repair in Gatesheath, done in place

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We regularly repair laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about dents from dropped items and burns.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Repair or replace in Gatesheath?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
