Repairing versus replacing in Cotes

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. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Take a look at our full price list.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What affects the price in Cotes

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

If you are in Cotes and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Cotes questions

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you cover Cotes?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cotes from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we are working on.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Common problems we fix in Cotes

Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day
