Wood & laminate floor repair in Thornley, County Durham
Our repair technicians come to Thornley for scratch, dent, chip and burn repairs to wood and laminate floors. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Gouges from moving appliances
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Wood floor repair at your home in Thornley
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Our technicians work on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Repairing versus replacing in Thornley
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Thornley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We leave the room as we found it
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Landlord and trade work in Thornley
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Engineered wood
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
