Trusted wood floor repair in Redworth

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How we handle wood floor repair in Redworth

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, in laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace in Redworth?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price 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 pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Redworth, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Our hiring checklist

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
