Auchendinny: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Auchendinny. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
