Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Questions from Jacob's Post
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How much does wood floor repair cost in Jacob's Post?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RH15 postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Repair or replace in Jacob's Post?

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Jacob's Post. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
