DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Peterlee
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.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
