Questions from Exbourne

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Wood floor repair in Exbourne, done in place

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are burns and chipped board edges.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Exbourne

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

What we are called out for in Exbourne

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Repair or replace in Exbourne?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
