Wood floor repair at your home in Low Gate

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. If you are dealing with gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Low Gate questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you cover the entire of Northumberland?

The whole UK, including all of Northumberland. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

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 photos.

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 will not last.

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. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Low Gate. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

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 reply with a fixed price.
