Landlord and trade work in Seaton
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Seaton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How we handle wood floor repair in Seaton
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We work on engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Seaton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Seaton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Seaton
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common questions in Seaton
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
