Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What affects the price in Great Thorness

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Solid wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Replacement in Great Thorness means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.
