Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Skewen. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Skewen. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire floor
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Repair or replace in Skewen?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Skewen questions
Do you cover the whole of Neath Port Talbot?
We work UK-wide, so Skewen is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Skewen.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you work in Skewen?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Skewen and the rest of Neath Port Talbot. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix 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.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Neath Port Talbot and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
