- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole floor
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whitley Bay as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
