Shiremoor: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you cover the whole of North Tyneside?
We work UK-wide, so Shiremoor is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
About our wood floor repair in Shiremoor
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We work on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shiremoor. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire floor
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most clients in Shiremoor get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Shiremoor, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
Repairing versus replacing in Shiremoor
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
