DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Common problems we fix in Potterhanworth

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

Common questions in Potterhanworth

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?

Across the UK, so Potterhanworth is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

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

What we work on

  • Engineered wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate flooring

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Potterhanworth, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

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.
