DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Wood floor repair in Witton Gilbert, done in place
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. If you’re dealing with chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, we can help, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Witton Gilbert as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Witton Gilbert
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Witton Gilbert and the rest of County Durham. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Advice
Should you replace it?
