Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lemington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lemington use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Do you need wood floor repair in Lemington?
Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

- Gouges from moving appliances
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts

FAQs for Lemington
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Lemington. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
