What affects the price in Hilcote

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Hilcote, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hilcote. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Take a look at our pricing.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hilcote use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
