Wood floor repair in Longbenton

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

How we handle wood floor repair in Longbenton

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, in engineered wood, laminate flooring and solid wood.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Longbenton: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

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.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

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 do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we are called out for in Longbenton

Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges
  • Gouges from moving appliances

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
