Wood floor repair in New Shildon, done in place
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Our technicians work on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and common reasons people contact us are gouges from moving appliances and burns.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Your questions about wood floor repair in New Shildon
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?

Landlord and trade work in New Shildon
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Shildon as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repairing versus replacing in New Shildon
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No need to remove anything
- Generally one visit, start to finish
See our prices page.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
