What affects the price in Filleigh

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Filleigh. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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 you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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.
