How we handle wood floor repair in Howdon
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Our technicians work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are burns and dents from dropped items.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What affects the price in Howdon
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
