DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
South Godstone: your questions answered
What does wood floor repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your RH9 postcode.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
