A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dunham-on-the-Hill
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Advice
Also in Dunham-on-the-Hill
Can I fix it myself?
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.
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 often lifts.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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.
What we work on
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
