Common questions in Batford
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hertfordshire.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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, and the work is guaranteed.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hertfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
