Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
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’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole floor
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
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. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlord and trade work in Lytham
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to 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. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Lytham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
