Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Castletown. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Castletown, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Castletown

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Castletown questions

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
