Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairing versus replacing in Newington
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Newington questions
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we’re working on.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
What affects the price in Newington
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
