Why repair rather than replace?

Wood floor repair at your home in Shotley Bridge
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Our technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are burns and chipped board edges.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What affects the price in Shotley Bridge
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- The material
- 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, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole floor
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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 damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

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

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
