Wood floor repair at your home in Haughton-le-Skerne
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We work on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Questions from Haughton-le-Skerne
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Haughton-le-Skerne included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

What affects the price in Haughton-le-Skerne
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DL1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Darlington and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
