Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

About Stanley

Stanley is about 7 miles south-west of Gateshead, in County Durham. We agree a date that works for you, and you’ll know when to expect us, so there’s no waiting around. Stanley is one of 329 towns and villages in County Durham we cover. We work right across the region, from Stanley to Newcastle upon Tyne (9 miles away).

Jobs in DH9 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. You will find streets such as High Street, Station Road and Kneller Close. Stanley is on the A693 and A6076, so it’s easy for us to reach. We also travel to Kip Hill (1 mile north), No Place (1 mile east), Craghead (1 mile south-east), Beamish (2 miles east) and High Forge (2 miles north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Durham (8 miles south-east), Consett (6 miles west), Bishop Auckland (15 miles south), Spennymoor (12 miles south), Seaham (14 miles east) and Chester-le-Street (5 miles east). Stanley is one of the larger places we cover in County Durham.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stanley

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stanley as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Stanley. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

FAQs for Stanley

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of County Durham. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you work in Stanley?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Stanley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

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

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
