What affects the price in East Down
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to East Down. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for East Down. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
