For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dowanhill as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Dowanhill: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you cover Dowanhill?

Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- 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, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
When we’d advise against a repair
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
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
