Wood floor repair for Shittlehope homes

Wood floor repair in Shittlehope without replacing anything

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Whether it’s chipped board edges and burns, we can typically put it right, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to compare quotes

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace in Shittlehope?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. 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. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

FAQs for Shittlehope

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do you cover the whole of County Durham?

All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is it messy?

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