How we handle wood floor repair in Grindon
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We are often asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, in laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most customers in Grindon get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
