About our wood floor repair in Penshaw

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. If you’re dealing with gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, we can normally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Your questions about wood floor repair in Penshaw

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Are there extra charges for Penshaw?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover the entire of Sunderland?

The whole UK, including all of Sunderland. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DH4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
