Trusted wood floor repair in Sunderland Bridge

Wood floor repair in Sunderland Bridge without replacing anything

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We’re frequently asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and burns, across solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Related advice

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Take a look at our prices page.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Sunderland Bridge

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Sunderland Bridge. Prices don’t change with location.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
