Cosby: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you cover the entire of Leicestershire?
We cover the entire UK, including Cosby and the rest of Leicestershire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you cover Cosby?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Cosby and the rest of Leicestershire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Leicestershire.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Cosby
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.

Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
