Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
What affects the price in Falmer
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Falmer. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Falmer. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
