How we handle wood floor repair in Walworth Gate
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We regularly repair engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most often call us about dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Walworth Gate questions
Do you work in Walworth Gate?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Walworth Gate and the rest of Darlington. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
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 happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we’re working on.

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
