Wood Floor Repair in Newton Aycliffe
Our repair technicians come to Newton Aycliffe for scratch, dent, chip and burn repairs to wood and laminate floors. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Gouges from moving appliances
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
About our wood floor repair in Newton Aycliffe
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We are often asked to fix chipped board edges and burns, across solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Common questions in Newton Aycliffe
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
