Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

Colbost questions

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you work in Colbost?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Colbost and the rest of Highland. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your IV55 postcode.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we’re working on.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

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 reply with a fixed price.

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Colbost

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace in Colbost?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
