10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Alphington

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Alphington, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Alphington

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Alphington?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our prices page.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
