Questions from Prestonpans
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work in Prestonpans?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Prestonpans from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What affects the price in Prestonpans
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
For a price in Prestonpans, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
