Your questions about wood floor repair in Gunnista
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are there extra charges for Gunnista?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Wood floor repair in Gunnista, done in place
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Whether it’s chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Landlord and trade work in Gunnista
For anyone letting property in or around Gunnista, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What affects the price in Gunnista
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
