Wood floor repair in Highfield, done in place

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We work on engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most frequently call us about gouges from moving appliances and burns.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NE39 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Highfield

  • Engineered wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Solid wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Highfield

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Gateshead.

What areas do you cover?

All of Gateshead, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Highfield customers choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our full price list.

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.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Highfield as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When to call us in Highfield

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns
  • Gouges from moving appliances

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched
