Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What affects the price in Pennycross
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the whole floor

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
