FAQs for Eastbourne

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you work in Eastbourne?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Eastbourne and the rest of Darlington. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Eastbourne. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our pricing.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When to call us in Eastbourne

Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Dents from dropped items

Comparing quotes

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
