Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Repairing versus replacing in Dowlish Wake
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dowlish Wake. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
