DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Wood floor repair in Newton, done in place
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Whether it’s chipped board edges and burns, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Landlord and trade work in Newton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What affects the price in Newton
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
