Advice
What affects the price in The Slack
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repairing versus replacing in The Slack
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for The Slack. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- Fixed prices from your photos
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Typically one visit, start to finish

Other services in The Slack
Landlord and trade work in The Slack
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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.
