About our wood floor repair in Urpeth

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We are frequently asked to fix dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, across laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Urpeth and across County Durham. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlord and trade work in Urpeth

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Urpeth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Questions from Urpeth

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Urpeth

  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Laminate flooring

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our pricing.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

For a price in Urpeth, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
