DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. 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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  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. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

St Denys questions

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How do I book?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we’re called out for in St Denys

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns
  • Gouges from moving appliances

Comparing quotes

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including St Denys. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
