About our wood floor repair in North Shields

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Whether it’s burns and scratches from furniture and pets, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Your questions about wood floor repair in North Shields

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in North Shields

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
