Repairing versus replacing in Keir Mill

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Keir Mill

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Keir Mill, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Keir Mill

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Keir Mill. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Laminate flooring
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
