Landlord and trade work in Gorseness
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Gorseness questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the whole floor
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
