  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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 pictures.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pettinain

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pettinain as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Common questions in Pettinain

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Repair or replace in Pettinain?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
