Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Childwick Green. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Childwick Green

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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Childwick Green use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your AL3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Engineered wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Laminate flooring
  • Solid wood

Do I have to be there?
