What affects the price in Ball

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

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

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Repair or replace in Ball?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Everything repaired in place

Take a look at our full price list.

Common problems we fix in Ball

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Burns
  • Dents from dropped items

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • If travel is included in the price
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
