Wood floor repair at your home in Hillend
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Typical jobs include burns and scratches from furniture and pets, across solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hillend
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire floor
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.

- We match the colour and grain by hand.

How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price

When to call us in Hillend
Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Burns
- Dents from dropped items
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Scratches from furniture and pets
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a 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. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
