Repair or replace: which is better?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What affects the price in Martlesham
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Martlesham: your questions answered
Do you work in Martlesham?
We do. Technicians travel to Martlesham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Martlesham
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Martlesham use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 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 normally the cheaper route.
