Our hiring checklist

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

FAQs for Dorking

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you cover the entire of Surrey?

Everywhere in the UK, Dorking included. Travel is included in the price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 you book.

Materials we work on in Dorking

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

What affects the price in Dorking

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire floor

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
