Do you cover Castle Green?
We do. We send a technician to Castle Green for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
