DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Wood floor repair in Newton, done in place
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Newton questions
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you come to Newton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Newton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DE55 postcode.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Newton. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire floor
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
Most customers in Newton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
