Common questions in Scrabster
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I book?

Do you hold any accreditations?

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Scrabster. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
