What affects the price in Kelby
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Repairing versus replacing in Kelby
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit

Kelby: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
