Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlord and trade work in Hovingham
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hovingham as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Common questions in Hovingham
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Are there extra charges for Hovingham?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
