The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

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.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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

What we’re called out for in New Town

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Burns
  • Chipped board edges

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in New Town

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Questions from New Town

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

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.

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in New Town?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What areas do you cover?

All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across County Durham.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
