Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What affects the price in Putnoe
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Putnoe. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you’re in Putnoe and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
