DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price

FAQs for Cathcart

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Landlord and trade work in Cathcart
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cathcart as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
