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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What affects the price in Ashford in the Water
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole floor
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
