Common questions in Smallbridge

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you cover Smallbridge?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Smallbridge and the rest of Rochdale. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Engineered wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Solid wood

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Smallbridge

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
