Questions from Althorne
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
