What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Wood floor repair in Oxclose without replacing anything

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Sunderland. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Laminate flooring

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Oxclose. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Signs you need wood floor repair in Oxclose

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
