The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

Spinney Hills: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Spinney Hills?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Spinney Hills

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repair or replace in Spinney Hills?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Spinney Hills

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
