How we handle wood floor repair in New Lambton

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We regularly repair laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and common reasons people get in touch are gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

New Lambton: your questions answered

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Sunderland.

Do you cover New Lambton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to New Lambton and the rest of Sunderland. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What does wood floor repair cost?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

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.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

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

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

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

Repair or replace in New Lambton?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why New Lambton clients choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business

Read our pricing.

What affects the price in New Lambton

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in New Lambton

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Engineered wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Solid wood
