DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Langdon Hills questions
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Langdon Hills. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What affects the price in Langdon Hills
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood

Repairing versus replacing in Langdon Hills

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
