Wood floor repair in Leamside without replacing anything
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. If you’re dealing with chipped board edges and burns, we can normally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Leamside questions
What does wood floor repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Sunderland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. 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 price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
