Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

Will the price change on the day?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you work in St Osyth Heath?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to St Osyth Heath for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it 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. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
