Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Colliston use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Colliston questions

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
