What affects the price in Balcombe

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repairing versus replacing in Balcombe

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our prices page.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

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

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

What we work on

  • Laminate flooring
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Engineered wood
  • Solid wood

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

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.

Questions from Balcombe

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.
