How we handle wood floor repair in Lambton

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We regularly repair laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Lambton and across Sunderland. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lambton. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Lambton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Our hiring checklist

Lambton questions

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we are working on.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Lambton?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lambton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
