DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.

What affects the price in Little Canfield

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Little Canfield

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What areas do you cover?

All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Little Canfield?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CM6 postcode.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Get a quote

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Little Canfield

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Canfield as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs
