Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Elmstead, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Elmstead
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Elmstead. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
