What affects the price in Oatlands
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
