What else we do in Fothergill
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Repairing versus replacing in Fothergill
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Fothergill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What affects the price in Fothergill
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
Most clients in Fothergill get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
