Wood floor repair in Newton Tracey without replacing anything
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, we can help, on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Newton Tracey. The price reflects:

- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire floor

Newton Tracey: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Newton Tracey?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can tenants book a repair?
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 repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Newton Tracey
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Repairing versus replacing in Newton Tracey
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. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
