Wood floor repair near Sherburn

Wood floor repair in Sherburn without replacing anything

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We are frequently asked to fix dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, across solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring.

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common questions in Sherburn

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we are working on.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sherburn

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Sherburn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

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. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
