FAQs for Sandwich
Are you a vetted contractor?

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlord and trade work in Sandwich
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Sandwich
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
