Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What affects the price in Acton Gate

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

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

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Questions from Acton Gate

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you cover the entire of Staffordshire?

All of Staffordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Acton Gate.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Acton Gate as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
