Wood floor repair in Newport

What we cannot put right

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

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

What we work on

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

About our wood floor repair in Newport

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Our technicians work on solid wood, engineered wood and laminate flooring, and common reasons people contact us are scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Newport and across Essex. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Newport customers choose us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A fixed quote before you book

Read our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Newport questions

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you come to Newport?

We do. Technicians travel to Newport from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Newport and the rest of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

What affects the price in Newport

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When to call us in Newport

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
