Our hiring checklist

Wood floor repair in Ryhope, done in place

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our technicians work on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are burns and chipped board edges.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Landlord and trade work in Ryhope

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ryhope use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Ryhope, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  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

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Ryhope. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can give you a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

FAQs for Ryhope

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
