Your questions about wood floor repair in The Grove

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you cover the whole of County Durham?

We cover the entire UK, including The Grove and the rest of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

How we handle wood floor repair in The Grove

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Our repair technicians work on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and burns.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in The Grove and across County Durham. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What we’re called out for in The Grove

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for The Grove. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in The Grove

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in The Grove use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

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. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
