Repairing versus replacing in Browns Green
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What affects the price in Browns Green
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your B20 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Honest limits

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
