What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, 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.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

What affects the price in Christchurch

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Christchurch

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Christchurch use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Christchurch questions

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are there extra charges for Christchurch?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price
