Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

Landlord and trade work in Rufforth
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rufforth use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What affects the price in Rufforth
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you are in Rufforth 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.
