  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Little Common. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How to compare quotes

FAQs for Little Common

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repair or replace in Little Common?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
