What affects the price in New Seaham

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for New Seaham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • Any details about the material

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Repairing versus replacing in New Seaham

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Questions from New Seaham

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you cover New Seaham?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
