What else we do in East Hamlet
Repairing versus replacing in East Hamlet
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What affects the price in East Hamlet
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole floor
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you’re in East Hamlet and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Questions from East Hamlet
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in East Hamlet.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around East Hamlet, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
