Wood Floor Repair for Houghton-le-Spring homes

- Repairs from £95
- Chipped board edges
- Dents from dropped items
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Typically one visit, start to finish

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
