Chilton Lane questions

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we’re working on.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Chilton Lane. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we are called out for in Chilton Lane

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Burns
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Chipped board edges

Before you book anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
