What affects the price in Great Bromley
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Great Bromley. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Great Bromley
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Signs you need wood floor repair in Great Bromley
Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Burns
- Dents from dropped items
- Gouges from moving appliances
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
