What else we do in Kingskerswell
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Kingskerswell. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Kingskerswell. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Kingskerswell, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Common questions in Kingskerswell
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
