Common questions in The Hythe
Do you work in The Hythe?
We do. Repair technicians travel to The Hythe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What areas do you cover?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are there extra charges for The Hythe?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
